Where Douglas Studied Law 

BY FRANK A. WOOD 

WHEN the country bordering on the Genesee river was known 
to miiKts nf the New England coast as the "West", Canan- 
daigna was the center of learning of (his state. Both Rochester and 
the former place were in their incipiency and men of letters sent their 
suns to Canandaigua academy to be educated along the lines of one 
of the professions. Among the youths who went there to school 
was Stephen Arnold Douglas, who later became one of the most 
renowned orators this country has ever produced. His speeches 
in the United States senate, after he became affiliated with that 
body, have attained international fame. Thus it is that the visitor 
in going over the historic spots 
in the town of the Indian name 
Holes the office in which Mr. 
Douglas studied law pointed out 
as one of the landmarks of 
Western New York. 

The large office buildings of 
modern days were unknown to 
tin- early settlers. Physicians 
and lawyers erected structures 
suitable to their individual 
needs on their residential hold- 
ings. Main street, in Canan- 
daigua, was dotted throughout 
its length by such buildings 
and but two remain, the On- 
tario County Historical Muse- 
um and the office already men- 
tioned, This colonial building 
was erected in 1832 by Walter 
Hubbell, a lawyer of wide- 
d tame, and was subse- 
quently occupied by Walter and 
Levi Hubbell. the latter a 
younger brother who was Adjutant General under Governor Marcy. 
Here it was that Douglas obtained his first insight in the law and 
where he studied lor three years, meanwhile attending Canandaigua 
academy. The famous building is now owned by W. S. Hubbell. 
son of Walter Hubbell and a school mate and acquaintance of Mr. 
Douglas. Mr. Hubbell is a well-known Canandaiguan and lives in 
the house on the property immediately joining the office. 

Douglas is described as a man of immaculate appearance when 
he attended Canandaigua academy, physically short and rather 
stout. Of his diminutive stature he always felt aggrieved. To im- 
prove this deficiency he wore the highest hat obtainable in those 
days and walked with a carriage denominating his force of char- 
acter. 

Early in life Stephen Douglas showed those characteristics which 
were destined to make him ultimately famous. An incident showing 
that the power of oratory was inborn in Douglas is of interest. 
While attending the academy. Principal Henry Howe, of that insti- 
tution, gave many demonstrations of the effect of laughing gas on 




the human mind. A small receptacle was used to hold the gas 
and a pipe was clenched between the teeth of the subject. Mr. 
Howe, being an expert in the use of the fluid, was instantly able to 
determine when the students had inhaled a sufficient quantity. The 
effect on different persons is marked and upon Douglas it was a 
revelation. 

One day on the campus the future senator participated in one 
of the experiments and suddenly withdrew the pipe from his mouth. 
Contrary to all expectations he darted to a far spot on the green 
and, wheeling quickly, he delivered one of the most powerful ora- 
torical efforts ever heard in that day of great speeches. For months 
his effort was the talk of the entire countryside. This was before 
Mr. Douglas had attained any fame as a speaker and is mentioned 

as showing that the gift of sway- 
ing his hearers by masterful elo- 
quence was inborn in the speak- 
er. 

Mr. Hubbell cherishes as/' 
one of his possessions the desk at 
which Mr. Douglas studied law 
in the office. It was character- 
istic of Douglas to stand while 
engaged in the pursuit of learn- 
ing and it may be owing to this 
fact that his ease and grace 
before a public body later be- 
came a matter of note.

For Tiny Yachts 

Yachtsmen, young and old, 
will gather round Trout Lake 
in Seneca Park to-morrow af- 
ternoon when the races among 
miniature craft will be held. 
Commissioner Wallace has 
given a miniature trophy for 
the competition, in addition to 
the other prizes, and the judging of individual merits will be safe in 
hands of such experts as Charles Van Voorhis, L. G. Mabbett and 
Commodore Thomas Pritchard of the Rochester Yacht Club. There 
are three classes of tiny boats eligible ranging from those measuring 
JO inches to those of 30 ami over. The age limit of the "skippers" 
is set at sixteen years.

West Side Development 

An organization that must be counted on in 
connection with the commercial interests of 

Rochester is that formed during the early 
summer by representative business men of the 
west side. It is well for the city that the tide 
of commercial activity which for a time swept 
steadily up Main Street to the eastward was 
stemmed by steady and persistent development 
of west side property; for as a result the busi- 
ness center is extending in all directions. 

Sonic months ago an organization of mer- 
chants, manufacturers and hankers, doing busi- 
ness in the immediate vicinity of the "four 
corners" was formed for the avowed purpose 
of advancing the interests of the city toward 
a Greater Rochester. A matter of policy re- 
garding the running of street cars and regard- 
ing proposeil changes in some of the car lines 
was one of the first things considered by this 
organization; hut that the association had 
broader views in mind was evidenced by the 
steps taken for making the organization perma- 
nent and by the published statement of some 
of the leading members. 

Congressman Perkins' Views 

Congressman James Breck Perkins said in 
part upon the occasion of organizing: 

"This is entirely a business men's meeting 
to consider business questions from a business 
standpoint. There is hardly one in this audi- 
ence but who would be better fitted to speak 
than myself. 

"Expressing my own views, which I hope 
and believe will he very largely the views of 
others present. I would say. We live in a city 
that for many years, certainly the past few, 
lias enjoyed extraordinary prosperity: there is 
not one of us that does not to some extent 
share in that prosperity and certainly there 
is not one of us wdio docs not want that pros- 
perity to continue. In united action much can 
be done and I think there is one rule that 
should govern, and I am sure will govern every 
good citizen: Whatever stands for the benefit 
of tlie whole city of Rochester. I care not what 
part, we are in favor of, and whatever by any 
possibility is intended to do harm to any part, 
I care not what part, we are against. Forty 
or fifty years ago this was a small place, now 
it has become a ^reat city, and like the child 
when he becomes a man, puts away childish 
things, we should put away the little jealous- 
ies, natural enough in a small place. The City 
of Rochester has grown too large to have all 
its business center on any one four corners. 
or to have its business center in any one block." 

During the summer months there has been 

little activity on the part of the organization; 

but it is promised that during the coming 



months it will be on the alert to protect the 
large business interests that are represented. 

The officers are: President, William C. 
Barry: vice-presidents, Arthur G. Yates, 
Thomas H. Mclunerney. George C. Buell; 
secretary, James P. B. Duffy; treasurer, 
George Wilder. 



true to-day. Rochester is naturally lovely and 
is loved, but the affection can be deepened 
and made abiding not only to those of the 
present but to thousands now strangers who 
but await our invitation to be brethren, if we 
but do our simple duty, unselfishly, willingly ; 
'and having done all, to stand.' " 




WILLIAM C. BARRY 

A Toast to Our City 

Concluding bis last annual report on the 
Rochester Chamber of Commerce, the former 
secretary, John M. Ives, said: 

"It has been well said that the measure of 
a city's self is what it does for itself and how 
well it does it, not so much the form which it 
employs. We are beginning to think as cities, 
to feel as cities and to have a sense of the 
significance of city life. The American city 
will never find itself, never believe in itself, 
never achieve itself, until there comes a con- 
sciousness of the city like unto that which 
exists in other lands. 

"Let Rochester believe in herself and think- 
well of herself; and by Rochester is simply 
meant the people inhabiting homes in this 
goodly heritage. Let everybody talk Rochester 
with an earnestness and enthusiasm which will 
carry conviction and there will soon be great 
thoughts, great plans and great fruition for 
the greater Rochester soon to be. 

"Many years ago in New York the motto of 
one of the Art Societies was. 'If you wish to 
make your city loved, make it in every sense 
lovely.' What was true in the past is equally 



Less Costly Dwellings 

One of the greatest needs of our ever grow- 
ing city is the building of homes for working 
people. The want of proper accommodation 
for this class of our citizens — the wage earn- 
ers — who constitute such a splendid element in 
an industrial community, is pressing and im- 
portant. If we build enormous plants and fac- 
tories, the matter of proper accommodations 
for the operatives is of the first importance. 
The class of houses needed are such as can be 
rented at from $4.00 to $5.00 per week. The 
best dwellings for working people are of the 
cottage plan each having a small garden space. 
Such homes are conducive to health, comfort 
and the well being of children. With abund- 
ance of land available in the towns adjoining 
Rochester, and the rapid transit service now 
available, it would seem to be an easy problem 
to solve. — Chamber of Commerce Report. 

Progress of the City 

County Clerk Hotchkiss reports that during 
1906 152 new Rochester corporations were or- 
ganized with an aggregate capital of $20,724,- 
850. One of these corporations was capitalized 
at $4,000,000, one at $2,500,000, another at 
$2,000,000, another at $1,500,000, another at 
$1,000,000, three at $500,000, four at $300,000, 
four at $250,000, seven at $200,000, and the rest 
ranging from $5,000 to $175,000. Of these 
fully $12,000,000 represents purely Rochester 
industries, either organized into corporations 
or increased capital of those already incor- 
porated.

Music a Public Benefit 

With this initial number of Every Friday, 
greeting is extended to all of Rochester's citi- 
zens who desire progress and development, 
educationally, morally and spiritually. 

To insure a healthy growth in any direction, 
the problem of social harmony throughout our 
land is one that must be solved. The funda- 
mental principles upon which to work are 
simplicity and truth, for in these two elements 
rests the secret of all civilization and culture. 
The purpose of these columns is to give to 
all sincere workers in the field of art and 
music the encouragement that belongs to them 
wherever they may be, in studies, school, home, 
or public places. 

"The supreme mission of art, as of morals, 
is to raise the individual out of himself and 
to identify him with his race." The mission 
of music is to represent beings rather than 
things. "It is not for any particular age, but 
for all time and all places." 

One of the problems of American education 
to-day is, how to make good music a part of 
our daily mental development. To those who 
know, the appreciation of music is one of the 
necessities of life. 

Music is the language that speaks to the 
imagination, the mind, the heart and the 
3. It is the vehicle for conveying the 
values of character to the minds and lives of 
men ; the "essence of order that leads to all 
that is good, just and beautiful." 

A Musical Atmosphere 

Believing this, it becomes the duty, and 
should be the pleasure, of every musician and 
music-loving being, to create a musical atmos- 
phere in his community, in order that an ap- 
preciation of this art may become universal. 

Many writers and critics tell us that in this 
respect we are far behind our friends in 
Europe, where the state or municipality offi- 
cially recognizes public musical events, by 
grants or annual subscriptions to concert, 
opera, choral societies, festivals, and open-air 
music in summer. This plan has not yet been 
adopted in the United States. 

Our city fathers have not seen the necessity 
nor advisability of making appropriations for 
the musical education of the people — the 
masses. Their plea against such a plan is, 
that "it would require an increase of taxes, 
which would be impossible. While hospitals, 
asylums, and reformatories are clamoring for 
state aid. the public schools are suffering from 
lack of funds, and road systems need improve- 
ment." 

Nevertheless, could they be brought to real- 
ize that the American citizen is naturally musi- 
cal, that he has a high degree of appreciation 




I o 



By M. URSULA ROGERSON 

and enjoyment of music — that the soul or spirit 
of God is in every human being, and if this 
soul is asleep within the house called the body, 
it may be awakened more thoroughly through 
the pure harmonies and sweet melodies of the 
masters of music than by any other art, no 
obstacle would be allowed to remain in the 
pathway of progress along this line of culture. 
The public school that does not have the 
joy of music a part of its daily life, is not 
fulfilling the highest purpose of education; 
and the community that does not support at 
least one good choral society, however small 




HERMANN DOSSENBACH 

it may be, is not laying the foundation of 

moral law and order that will be the means 

of harmonizing and pacifying the prevailing 
social discord. 

Midsummer Festival 

Although Rochester has not yet done its 
best, it is showing an inclination to create a 
musical atmosphere by means of its mid-sum- 
mer music festival held August 22d at Seneca 
Park, the program of which comprised various 
forms of musical utterance; namely, orchestra, 
choral clubs and solo voices, appealing to all 
clashes of human lu-in- -. 

Space forbids comment upon each number 
rendered; but well-earned praise is due Theo- 
dore Dossenbach, Beccher Aldrich and I loin- 
rich Jacobson, who directed players and 
singers with intelligent leadership. 

The opening "Overture 1812" of Tschaikow- 
sky. and the closing songs — "Die Wacht Am 




Rhein" and "The Star Spangled Banner" 
rang with the patriotism of Russia, Germany, 
and America, wdiich must have been an inspi- 
ration to all who heard them. The "Overture 
1812" by Peter Iljitch Tschaikowsky was 
written for the celebration of a great national 
event — the dedication of the New Cathedral 
at Moscow — and is classified musically as an 
"occasional" composition in which inventive 
genius plays a more important part than in- 
spiration. Tschaikowsky possessed remarkable 
skill in building a musical structure by means 
of thematic workmanship. 

Excited by Patriotism 

In the "Overture 1812" his enthusiasm was 
aroused and his imagination excited by earnest 
patriotism and deep love for his native coun- 
try. When he planned the composition, he 
undoubtedly had in mind the picture of the 
disastrous retreat of the French from Mos- 
cow, after the city had been set on fire by its 
inhabitants. Three subjects stand out from 
the tumultuous background of tones. The 
first, — intoned at the beginning of the violas 
and cellos, — appears to be a chant which may 
have been taken from the ritual of the Greek 
Church; the second is the "Marseillaise" and 
the third is the Russian National Anthem. 
The music is a representation of conflict and 
strife. 

When the "Marseillaise" seems to gain 
ground and suggest the victory of the French, 
it is suddenly swallowed up by an immense 
wave of sound wdiich resolves itself into the 
triumphant opening theme, and the Russian 
National hymn proves that by the support and 
help of Russian patriotism, the enemy has been 
routed. Amid the clanging of bells and boom- 
ing of cannon the victory is celebrated. 

This overture is a remarkable example of 
Tschaikowsky's ingenuity in instrumentation 
and his great gift of realistic tone-painting. 
It was often given a place on the program of 
the Theodore Thomas Orchestra during the 
life time of that musical benefactor in Chicago, 
and there is a powerful significance in it being 
the leading number of this festival of Roch- 
ester's Musical Societies. 

The purpose of a music festival is to create 
a musical atmosphere; which, if discontinued, 
might become a national calamity. 

It is hoped that the day is not far distant 
when Rochester will possess a concert or 
music hall of sufficient dimensions to accom- 
modate an audience oi many thousands who 
may at regular intervals during the year, be 
refreshed by the world's best music in chorus 
and song, supported by orchestra and organ 
that will not be an individual affair, but a 
contribution to a musical nation.

SecV. AUTOMOBILE CLUB 



Progress of Automobiling 



No one will question the statement that inex- 
perience is the greatest handicap to progress. 
One of the most surprising conditions is that 
many will seize upon one idea and will refuse 
to regard any other suggestion ; even when it 
is apparent that it is an improvement. Many- 
will cling close to traditions, to the antiquated 
processes and opinions, and they are utterly 
forgetful of the fact that every progress which

i 







IMPROVED VICTOR ROAD 

has been made represents new ideas and their 
adoption, generally against what seems good 
and logical reason. 

There has been but little which has .mate- 
rially benefited the people that has not been 
accomplished against the belief of many. This 
has applied to every form of transportation 
and labor-saving device, and the strange part 
of it all is the fact that those who most profit 
by what has been accomplished are the most 
unwilling to accept something new. Where 
would business be to-day without the steam 
engine, the marine engine, the electric rail- 
roads, the telephone, the telegraph and the 
ocean cables? The automobile should be 
ranked with any of these because the possi- 
bilities are great; but the inexperience of the 
general public is a handicap which will require 
years of time and large sums of money to 
overcome. The use of the motor vehicle has 
an unlimited future; it means a revolution of 
methods and conditions. The plans which are 
forming, such as having large motor vehicle 
boulevards, uniform legislation, etc., are to the 
minds of men at the head of the largest trans- 
portation companies regarded as of sufficient 



importance to cause them to use every resource 
to defeat them. If these men can see the pos- 
sibilities of the motor car, is it not time that 
some of the men who are serving the people 
in the legislatures should see the advantages 
and not prevent the probability of a form of 
competition that could not do otherwise than 
benefit the people? 

With the continued use of the motor car the 
one great attraction is 
the fact that touring can 
be indulged in at any- 
time and this is propa- 
bly the cause of more 
enthusiasm than any- 
other element in motor- 
ing. On that account 
there is every reason 
that conditions should 
be such as will make the 
tours most enjoyable. 

As far as racing is con- 
cerned there is constant- 
ly decreasing interest as 
there is a limit to the 
pace that can be safely- 
maintained on the or- 
dinray racing tracks. 
In hill climbing contests 
and in road racing 
where there is a chance 
of greater speed there 
is opportunity for the 
spectator to see only in part; these conditions 
affect the interest of the public. 

It is the ability to go considerable distances 
when and where one 
pleases, and to travel 
without respect for 
schedules, that makes 
the touring car the 
pleasurable conveyance 
it is. Touring in a mo- 
tor car is to be one of 
the most pleasurable of 
of occupations of the 
future, and what all 
should do is to make it 
possible to enjoy these 
advantages to the fullest 
extent. 

The automobile clubs 
of the country constitu- 
te the main factor in 
making touring enjoy- 
able, and by opposing 
adverse laws are making 
it more of a pleasure to 
drive throughout the 

6 



country, If some of the bills introduced in 
the legislature had become laws, the only 
place to drive a motor car would have been 
in one's back yard. This year another flood 
of obnoxious bills will be introduced and 
they will be vigorously opposed by the asso- 
ciated clubs of this state. It is easily seen 
that the more members a club has the more 
influence it will have. 

On the statements which have been made 
concerning the clubs of the country there has 
been a great increase in the number of mem- 
bers, and there is undeniably a realization on 
the part of the motorists that it is for their 
own benefit to unite and exert whatever influ- 
ence may result for the promotion of pleasure 
and the protection of all against unreasonable 
legislation and restrictions and by education 
to remove the prejudice that exists in some 
localities regarding the use of motor cars. 

The state and national organizations are to 
be reckoned with by all the clubs, as affiliation 
with those will bring co-operation and assist- 
ance. Perhaps one of the best indications of 
the practicability of organization is found in 
the formation of state associations as well as 
local clubs. The value of a local club to every 
motorist is great and the man who owns a 
car will find that his membership in a club has 
new significance if he considers the conditions 
which face the devotees of the pleasure. There 
is always something to be done at all seasons 
of the year.

The Good Roads Question 

New York state at present is doing more 
good mads work than its neighboring states. 
There is more need of it and the annual appro- 
priations under the $50,000,000 Good Roads 
liill passed a short time ago, are larger than 
.tre those of neighboring states. One of the 
largest pieces of road work in the upper part 
of the state is that from Utica to Oneida 
Castle. When this is finished the old Seneca 
turnpike, one of the most troublesome spot-, 

for motorists in the state, will be transformed 
into a smooth roadway. About one-half the 
distance from Syracuse to Auburn is macad 
utilized ; but on the way to Geneva, tourists will 
encounter more misery in the twelve miles 
1 etweeu Waterloo and Geneva than on any 
other section in a trip from New York to 
Buffalo. In wet weather this road is almost 
impassable. Repeated efforts have been made 
to have this section improved, hut up to the 
present time there is no indication of anything 
being done. 

This section of the state is fortunate in get- 
ting at least a few of the improved roads 
One of these, shown in the accompanying 
ilustrations, is a line specimen of road build- 
rhis is the new state road between -Men- 
don and Canandaigua, This road starts at 
the Ontario county line just east of Mendon 
and is improved through to Main street in 
Canandaigua, except through the village of 
Victor, which section the stale is not allowed 
to improve. This stretch will probably be 
cared for by the village authorities. 

The road was built in two sections, the first 
section from Mendon to a point west of Victor 
was completed some time ago at a cost of 
$36,400. It is constructed of limestone found 
in that vicinity. It is 5.2 miles in length, 12 
feet in width ami has a thickness of six inches, 
except where an extra thickness was required, 
in soft places. This section was built by 
Mosber X- Summers, of Buffalo. 

The new section which has just been opened 
is a continuation of the former section into 

Canandaigua. This was built by Chambers & 

Grady, of Rochester, at a cost of $44,135. It 
is 6.7 miles in length, twelve feet in width and 
six inches in thickness. This road is also 
built of limestone secured in that locality. 

This entire road has been constructed by 
the latest standard of road plans and has very 
wide shoulders, giving ample room to pass out- 
side the macadam portion. Monroe county is 
to have her share of good roads in the near 
future, not least of which is the 1'itlsford- 
Mendou road which will then give Rochester 

autoists a fine run from that city to Geneva 
Other roads down for improvement are the 
I.atta road; two sections of the Clover road 
in Brighton; Portland avenue, section 2; the 
Buffalo road from Churchville to the Moreton 



farm; Despatch to Pittsford; Bartlett's Cor 

ners to Hilton. County Line road, town of 
Hamlin; Churchville to Riga, and the Rich 
dugway to Penfield. The road building in 

this section is under the direct supervision of 
John P. Kelly, division engineer. 

Unnecessary Wear of Tires 

Probably more wear of tires results from 
inexperience or carelessness in stopping or 
Starting than is believed by most motorists; 
and yet when one reflects that the strain is 
much more excessive at 
such times than when the 
car is running evenly, it 
is apparent that the life of 
the shoes can be prolong- 
ed by reasonable care. 

Most motor drivers 
may recall seeing power 
applied to a car and the 
front wheels lift from the 
ground through the sud- 
denness of the impulse; 
this is not infrequent with 
the best of drivers. For 
a short time the stress is 
undoubtedly keen, and it 
is not to be denied the 
car would have been 
started just as satisfac- 
torily by the different ap- 
plications of power. Elec- 
tric and steam cars are 
not so severe in this 
respect, because of the 

ease of impulse in starting. The gas car can be 
operated fully as easily when discretion is used. 
When in the highway the possibility of damage 
to a tire by a sharp stone under such circum- 
stances is to be considered. 

There are occasions, frequently, when it is 
necessary to stop quickly, and perhaps to apply 
the brakes sharply; the consequent drag on the 
rear tires through the momentum is injurious, 
so that when possible to do so it is wise to 
shut off power and allow the car to coast along 



to tin point where one wishes to stop, using 
the brakes moderately, if at all. When one 
"ii Mcrs the many times the brakes are used 
in the course of a season, it will be understood 
how large is the factor of starting and stop 
ping in the life of a tire. The prolonging of 

the use of a tire means so much money 
as well as satisfactory sen ii 

Posting Road Signs 

The accompanying road sign illustrations 
show the nature of the work now being taken 





IMPROVED VICTOR ROAD 

up bj the Rochester Automobile club. These 
signs arc made of enameled iron, white back 
ground, with blue letters, making a serviceable 
sign and one that will stand all sorts of 
weather. Each sign is being placed on a post 
by itself which is set three feet in the ground, 
and placed on the roads where it is most 
needed. Every post is painted white so as to 
be more noticeable especially at night. The 
Scottsvillc and Churchville roads to Batavia 
are completed and work is under way on the 
Geneva road and also on the old Syracuse 
road. Every road out of Rochester for a radius 
of about 50 miles will be posted with these 
signs as fast as they can be secured and placed. 
This is indeed a good work in the interest 
of the traveling public and should be appre- 
ciated by ail who use the public highways. 
The credit is due the Rochester Automobile 
club foi carrying it on. 



Short Story of a Killing 

In a Tennessee court an old colored woman 
was put on the stand to tell what she knew 
about the annihilation of a hog by an automo- 
bile. Being sworn, she was asked if she had 
seen the auto kill the hog in question. 

"Vassal). I seed it." Then said the counsel, 
"tell the court in as few words as possible just 
what occurred." "Yo honah," responded the 
old lady. "I shore kin tell yo' in a few words. 
It just tooted and tuck him."

RECREATION 




Tennis Popular as E,ver 

Despite the allurements of golf, lawn tennis 
continues to grow in popularity in Rochester 
and this year has seen the ranks of players 
of both sexes largely augmented. Although 
the number of clubs remains the same, dozens 
of private courts have been laid out in various 
parts of the city. The ground on University 
avenue may be considered the headquarters of 
the game here-abouts and the Rochester 
Tennis Club is now in a highly prosperous 
condition. There are nearly one hundred men 
and more than fifty women on the active mem- 
bership list, while the $50 "family ticket" has 
proved very popular, some thirty-five of them 
having been issued this year. This ticket al- 
lows the bona fide members of a family, and 
non-resident friends introduced by the holder 
of the ticket, full privileges of the club-house, 
courts etc. Each afternoon finds all the courts 
fully occupied and the various games wax 
fast and furious. 

The recent appearance on the local courts 
of Miss Bessie Moore, who has won the wo- 
men's national championship on four occasions 
since 1896, aroused considerable interest. Miss 
Moore was visiting friends in this city and 
took the opportunity to put in some hard 
practice on the University avenue grounds in 
anticipation of meeting Miss May Sutton in 
the Niagara tournament. Miss Moore's vig- 
orous style and dexterous work was a treat to 
witness, and Rochester's women players, and 
most of the men for that matter, learnt many 
a good lesson from her play. 

Frederick K. Ward was Miss Moore's op- 
ponent in these games and although Mr. Ward 
is considered the strongest player in the club 
he had to show his best form in order to keep 
pace with Miss Moore's lightning play ; and in 
this he acquitted himself with much credit. 

To Tackle Buffalo Again 

The return tournament with the Buffalo 
Lawn Tennis Club will be played on the Bison 
City's courts on the 14th inst. and it is to be 
hoped the Rochester men will repeat the vic- 
tory they gained over Buffalo earlier in the 
summer here when they won seven out of the 
eight singles and three out of the four doubles. 
At least one other tournament will lie played 
before the close of the season. Competitions 
confined to members of the club have been in 
progress for some time and Miss Louise Otis 
has already been acclaimed as the woman 
champion. 

F. L. Lamson, the registrar of the Univer- 
sity of Rochester, is president of the club, F. C. 
Goodwin is the vice-president. H. II. Steb- 
bins, Jr., is the secretary-treasurer. Rev. C. B. 
Chapin is an enthusiastic supporter of the 





game. He is chairman of the grounds com- 
mittee, the other members being E. B. Cook 
and Mr. Stebbins. 



A Famous Player Collapses 

Tennis players have just heard with deep 
regret of the physical collapse of Richard Ste- 
vens, the millionaire of Castle Point, N. J., 
who, because of too persistent practice at the 
game, so undermined his health that he will 
never be able to play again. For many years 
Stevens was the representative back court 
player in this country, but the style became 
obsolete and Stevens was unable to change his 
game to the newer conditions, though he prac- 
ticed early and late with a professional coach 



that they had offered to leave it behind in 
Europe on certain conditions, one of which 
provided for a half-way battle ground next 
year, such as Cape Town. However, this prop- 
osition, though very sportsman-like on the part 
of Messrs. Brooke and Wilding, did not find 
favor at tennis head-quarters in Australia; the 
"natives" clamored for possession of the cup 
as long as they can hold it and already the 
place of honor has been assigned to it in the 
prize room at Melbourne. 

It is conceded therefore that, as the result 
of the visit of the American team to England 
this year, there would be small chance of our 
being able to recruit players that would stand 
an equal chance of winning against either the 
Australians or the Englishmen, commensurate

with the heavy expense and months of travel 
that such a trip would entail. The Britishers 
are certain to be numbered among the chal- 
lengers next year and Americans fondly hope 
that Wimbledon will once more prove the bat- 
tle ground for 1909. 



No Australian Trip 

It was the general opinion among the past 
and present tennis experts who gathered at 
Newport >that there would be no American 
challengers for international honors next year. 
The Australians, Norman E. Brooke and 
Anthony F. Wilding, will carry the Davis 
trophy back with them to the land of the 
Southern Cross, as they are fully entitled to 
do according to the rules of the competition ; 
though there was a rumor a few days ago

FOOTBALL 
Brief Reign Begins 

The present football season promises to be 
prolific with surprises in the development of 
the game ; especially among the big colleges. 
Although there are a few games in the early 
part of the month, the earliest games that 
promise to be anything but one-sided and that 
approach championship calibre are on October 
12th when Swarthmore visits Philadelphia and 



EVERY FRIDAY 



the Carlisle Indians and Syracuse clash at 
Buffalo. From that date onward, at least 
every Saturday and sometimes during the 

week, one or more important matches will be 
played. 

The third Saturday of November will he the 
greatest football day of the season in point 
of championship games played. On this date 
the Tigers will engage Yale for their annual 
tussle. Pennsylvania will tackle Michigan at 
Ann Arbor, Carlisle will also carry the East's 
hauner to Minnesota, Dartmouth will fight it 
out with Harvard at Cambridge, and "Perm" 
Slate will try conclusions with Annapolis. Har- 
vard and Vale will come together the following 
week and the Quakers and Cornell will play 
the annual Thanksgiving Day game at Frank- 
lin Field. Two days later the Army and Navy 
will ring down the curtain on the season. 

Chances in the Rules 

The most important alteration in the football 
rules this year is the clause which provides for 
a penalty of fifteen yards for a dropped for- 
ward pass, if the error is made on the first or 
second down. Last year the ball went to the 
other side. Attention should also be directed 
to the following changes : 

In the case of a kick-out after a safety, the 
opponents must line up on the thirty-five in- 
stead of the twenty-five yard line. 

Two umpires are made obligatory to free the 
game from the least vestige of roughness. 

It is made clear that any lineman may carry 
the hall, provided he does not leave his place 
in the line till the ball is put in play. 



GOLF 

Value of the Short Gam* 

Those players who make a close study of 
form with a view to improving their own 
game, are just now taking Jerome D. Travers, 
this year's amateur champion, as their model 
and it is understood that an invitation has been 
extended to Mr. Travers by the Oak Hill 
Country Club to play an exhibition match with 
Alexander Smith, the professional champion, 
on the local links before winter sets in. The 
amateur championship this year brought out 
iimre strikingly than ever before in this coun- 
try the advantage of the "short game". There 
are extremely long courses where the "swiper" 
unquestionably enjoys a distinct advantage 
over the golfer whose stock in trade is to go 
plodding steadily along. The Cleveland cir- 
cuit does not come under the heading of "ex- 
tremely long". In fact, golfers frequently 
liter to it as a "levelling" course — one where 
the ordinary player has almost an equal chance 
with the class man. with the result that, as 
was shown in the amateur championship 
matches, the contestants were, nearly all of 
them, able to reach the greens in two shots. 

But it was the putting green that provided 
the remedy for "levelling" and it was there 
that nearly every match was won and lost 
Travers demonstrated, time and time again. 
what could be clone with the aid of the deadly 
short game. And though his opponent may 
have been considered a good putter as a rule. 
Travers was always able to go him one better 



Although he played a sound game in every 
department, it was his putting that enabled 
Travers to smother E. M. Byers, for there 
was little to choose between the two off the 
tee or through the green. Ragged putting 
proved H. Chandler Egan's undoing in I" 
match with Ned Sawyer and it was a put that 
won the twentieth hole for W. C. Fownes, Jr., 
in his game with Walter J. Travis. The result 
of all this is that students of golf, irrespec 
live of age, are now giving more attention 
than ever to the short game. 



Scotland Bereft of "Stars" 

There seems little justification for the move- 
ment that is being furthered at present to in- 
stitute a Scottish professional championship in 
golf. All the best professional talent has 
migrated from the "home of the game," having 
been snapped up by the ever increasing num- 
ber of clubs in England, America and the 
European continent, and this will continue as 
long as the opportunities for a golfing career 
outside the limits of Scotland remain so at- 
tractive and lucrative. The new Scottish cham- 
pion could not hope to hold his title a day 
were he to be callenged by compatriots now 
resident in almost every civilized corner of 
the globe. 



ROWING 
Lessons from Henley 

Another instance of the influence of the 
English stroke on a crew visiting Henley is 
that of the Argonauts of Toronto in their 
work shown at Philadelphia recently when 
they took championship honors from the best 
of our amateur oarsmen. Up to the visit of 
the Canadians to England last year their style 
was a "hit or miss, slash, bang" sort of stroke 
without the least method whatever, the oars- 
men depending on their strength to get the 
speed out of the boat. The Argonaut crew 
that rowed at Worcester in the national re- 
gatta last year had not time to annex the Eng- 
lish stroke, but this year's eight had its most

vital points exploited. They did not swing to 
far back and had a quick recovery, and in 
reaching for the stroke carried the blades low 
and horizontally to the water. The blade en- 
tered the water squarely, but was not forced 
to any depth; just sufficient to cover the blade 
completely. Then there was a good leg drive, 
followed by a sharp heave which, altogether, 
made a combination by no means exhausting 
and very effective for sending the shell along 
at a fine rate of speed. 

Much the same stroke was used by the New 
York A. C. men, wdio made such a good 
showing in this regatta, hut they swung a trifle 
too much and their blades were a little longer 
in the air which accounted for the space which 
separated them from the winners at the finish. 
Our amateur oarsmen, as well as the coaches, 
are now convinced there is much to be learned 
from a trip to Henley. The Belgians were 
quick to grasp the merits of the Englishmen's 
style and methods, with results that have 
caused the famous Leanders to yield the 
Grand Challenge cup to them two years in 
succession. After Courtney's visit to Henley 
with Cornell, he dropped his old "donkey en- 
gine" stroke and narrowed his blades, hence 
his success ever since. 



FREDERICK K. WARD 
Rochester's Strongest Tennis Player 



For Olympic Honors 

James Pilkington. president of the National 
Association of Amateur Oarsmen, and Julian 
W Curtiss, treasurer of the American Olym- 
pic committee, will have the important task of 
selecting oarsmen to compete at the English 
Olympic games next year. Pilkington has a 
wide acquaintance among rowing men all over 
the country and he is shrewd and experienced 
as to the merits of the sweep pullers. On the 
other hand Curtiss stands high with the col- 
lege men and if they work the right way there 
should be no trouble in picking a first-rate 
crew. As far as the conditions of the Olympic 
regatta stipulate, men can be selected from all 
over America, but they must be bona tide ama- 
teurs and there must be not the least ques- 
tion about their status.

My Friend L&cey 

Being a Truthful Account of the Pleasing Idiosyncracies of a Man who Enjoyed Life 

Without Wealth 



By CHARLES BATTELL LOOMIS 




C. B. LOOMIS 



ADMIRE my friend 
Lacey. He makes a 
virtue of necessity. 
I know he's poor and 
he knows he's poor 
but he turns his pov- 
erty into a joke, and 
when you're on jok- 
ing terms with Pov- 
erty you find that he's 
not such a bad fel- 
low after all. Lacey 
has made a pet of the 
wolf at his door and 
his children share their lunches with it. They 
say that when Poverty comes in at the 
door Love flies out of the window but Lacey 
does not remember the time when Poverty 
was not already in the house and so Love grew 
to look on him as a foster brother and they get 
along beautifully. But it all lays in Lacey's 
way of treating things. 

Like myself, he lives in a suburban town 
where some rents are cheap and it happens 
that he has over an acre of ground around his 
house and at least ten deciduous trees. Lacey's 
neighbors keep a man employed at so much a 
week to rake up the leaves as they fall on the 
glossy lawns. Lacey would like to keep a man 
employed but he could not pay him, and he 
would not accept his work for nothing, so he 
lets the leaves accumulate and early and late 
he tries to get his neighbors to do the same. 
"Best fertilizer in the world" says he. "Next 
summer my lawn will be fresh long before 
yours is." Indeed, so much has Lacey said 
on the subject that Van Pelt, who has the 
finest lawn you will find outside of England, 
has this year allowed his leaves to accumulate. 
In my humble opinion the leaves harbor many 
insects that were better out of the way, but 
Lacey saxes a man's hire ami i> looked upon 
as quite an original. 

Now if I were to let m\ leaves accumulate 
my neighbors would say that I was untidy. 
I haven't Lacey's knack of making a virtue of 
necessity. 



Why. take the matter of his veranda. It 
was positively unsafe fur people to call on 
him because there were so many loose planks 
in the flooring, and here and there a board 
had rotted away. 

Most men would have been ashamed of it 
and would have borrowed money to pay for 
a new flooring. Not so Lacey. lie will not 
borrow money under any circumstances. 



So he told everyone that if there was any- 
thing he did hate it was new boards. It was 
like a new suit of clothes — made a man look 
so ready made, so parvenu. He supposed he'd 
have to come to it Anally or else shut up the 
front door and have his friends come in by 
way of the kitchen. 

What happened? Why, when Lacey went 
to the St. Andrew's Brotherhood Convention 
at St. Louis his friends clubbed together and 
had a new veranda flooring put in "in self 
defence" as they said, and Lacey was affected 
almost to tears when he returned and found 
what friends he had. He paid it all back too, 
in neighborly acts. I'll say that for him. 

But if I had let my flooring go to rack and 
ruin that way people would have said I was 
shiftless. 1 had mine done only last week. 
The carpenter said he was willing to wait and 
I'm willing to let him as long as he doesn't 
overdo it. 



Lacey takes pride in his furniture. No two 
pieces alike and the whole lot at swords points 
with each other. Every stage of American 
taste is represented from the time when the 
Americans lost their taste up to the time of 
the Centennial Exhibition when they began to 
find it again. He tells us stories about each 
piece of furniture and makes people laugh at 
it. Heaven knows they felt like laughing at 
it when they came into the room but their 
breeding forbade. There is a zest to their 
laughter that is not entirely evoked by Lacey's 
droll way of telling how he came by each 
(dreadful) bit of walnut or stained white pine, 
but he has such an indescribable way that there 
arc some men in our town (I say men because 
women are not as easily deceived in such 
matters) who think that Lacey's parlor is quite 
(i cur'm cabinet. 

What would happen if I, scorning the instal- 
ment plan, had such a room full of odds and 
ends? Why people would, say that my parlor 
was shabby and they would be -quite right. 
But unless it's a. blunt new comei of the more 
discerning sex no one ever calls Lacey's parlor 
shabby, and 1 think that we'd all regret it if 
some one died and left him a complete set of 

Louis Quirtz or Grand Rapids furniture. 



Most of the dwellers in this town have two 
or three "maids." They used to be called 
"girls" when I was a boy. "Up stairs girl" 
and "down stairs girl." How simple and how 
archaic! Now they are all maids even when 
their husbands are employed as garueners; just 

10 



as an actress of note may marry every few 
months and she is still "Miss" Rosina For- 
tesque. 

As I say, most of our neighbors have at 
least two maids but Lacey does not. He says 
that more than one would tax Mrs. Lacey's 
strength too much. One every week or so he 
will have, but this having two at once and per- 
haps having two leave at the same time is too 
great a strain on nervous force. 

Of course I have to keep two (if I can) in 
order to keep up appearances, but you see 
Lacey doesn't go in for appearances. His is an 
altogether different lay. He knows that we 
know that it is his pocket book that prescribes 
the number of girls he may employ but by 
treating the matter whimsically he is enabled 
to move on a perfect equality with Senator 
Fur nival who is a neighbor of ours and who 
has a retinue of at least ten servants and I 
don't know how many horses and carriages. 
Lacey and the senator golf together, golf being 
Lacey's only extravagance. He says he can 
afford to golf because he swore off smoking 
when he was twenty one and never smoked a 
cigar for ten years, and he is using the money 
he saved for golf, which in return saves him, 
on an average, ten doctor's visits a year. 



Lacey hasn't a single painting on his walls 
and of course he makes a virtue of that. "I 
would not want any but the best and as I 
haven't time to hunt up the ones of merit that 
are cheap now, and as I haven't the money to 
buy the ones which had merit some time ago 
hut have only just become masterpieces owing 
to their creator's death, I content myself with 
good photographic reproductions of the best 
here and in Europe." 

Now Dolliver, who made bis money in oil, 
has a whole roomful of very large oils, and 
Lacey says there is not a single worthy pic- 
ture in the lot, but Dolliver opens his gallery 
every Thursday afternoon and lets hoi polloi 
come, lie deserves credit for the kindness 
that prompts the action but Lacey says he is 
disseminating a vast amount of pseudo culture 
around the country. 

All this, however, is away from the point 
that I wished to make. For once Lacey admits 
that it is a question of money with him but he 
has contrived to make people believe that he 
knows something about art and they rave over 
his photographs quite as much as they would 
over the originals. Now I have five or six 
good oils that kept me back on my rent for

The Com ing Municipal Election 

Summary of Conditions Under Which Certain Rochesterians May Be 
Considered for the Mayoralty—Democratic Possibilities 



By WILLARD A. MARAKLE 



More than ordinary interest attaches to the 
municipal election of 1907. Rochester was the 
only city of importance up-state carried by 
Hearst last year. S<mn- persons are disposed 
to assign a major part of the credit for this 
to the staunch support of trades unionists, 
because of the candidacy upon Hearst's ticket 
of one of their townsmen and comrades, John 
S. Wlialcn. for secretary of state. This is 
doubtless correct; nevertheless a more plaus- 
ible reason is that Rochester's rapidly increas- 
ing industries have attracted to this city sev- 
eral thousands of workingmen and the politics 
of these were unknown to the old-time politi- 
cal leaders who, resting on the laurels of the 
McKinley campaigns of 1896 and 1900 and the 
Roosevelt campaign of 1904, could not scent 
even possible defeat. 

In a purely local election, with the personal 
magnetism and candidacy of Hearst and 
Whalen absent, will 1907 be repeated? Will 
the trades unionists follow the lead of Secre- 
tary Whalen in selecting municipal officers? 
Have the leaders of the republican organiza- 
tion made inroads upon the labor vote? Will 
the contest he a three-cornered one between 
the republicans, led by George W. Aldridge, 
and James L. Hotchkiss: the democrats, led 
by Thomas W. Finucane and Milton E. Gibts 
and the independence leaguers, led by John 
M. Campbell and Frank Keogh ? Or will the 
contest he between a ticket made up of straight 
republicans and a fusion ticket, composed of 
democrats, leaguers and representatives of the 
"citizens' party", led by James Johnston? 
Senator Dunn, Sheriff Craig 

These are the questions agitating the pol- 
iticians and the public to-day. The party pri- 
maries are to be held on September 17th but 
the nominating conventions will not come until 
later; so all those question will not be an- 
swered much before October 1st. 

Mayor Cutler has served the people for two 
terms and last spring announced that pressure 
of business and impaired health would not per- 
mit him to be a candidate for renomination. 
At the time it was assumed that this removed 
him from the list of mayoralty possibilities. 
For several months the name of Senator 
Thomas B. Dunn has been uppermost in the 
minds of the politicians. It is possible that 
he may head the ticket; but he has evinced 
no desire to make the canvass and his intimate 
friends say they do not believe he could be 
induced to accept the nomination. Legislative 
life is congenial to him they say, and he prefers 
not to change it for the worries and labors 
which go with the mayoralty. 

There is a large and growing element in the 
republican organization which believes that the 
time is ripe for a change in the type of mayor- 



alty candidate and these urge that choice be 
made from one who may be said to represent 
the middle class and one who is in close touch 
with the workers in the republican organiza- 
tion. These are urging Mr. Aldridge and Mr. 
Hotchkiss to give favorable consideration to 

Sheriff William II. Craig. Bluff, g 

humored, one of the best band shakers and 
mixers who ever played practical politics and 
an organization republican to the core, his 
backers say he is a sure winner. 

While he is encountering more than per- 
functory opposition, the wiseacres believe that 
Alderman William Ward is to be the nominee 
of the democrats at least and, possibly, of a fu- 
sion movement in which the organization dem 
ocrats, a great many independence leaguers and 




WILLIAM H. CRAIG 

the citizens' party will participate. Ward's 
candidacy is opposed by many trades unionists 
in the league, by the anti-Hearst democrats 
and by a few organization democrats. Should 
Sheriff Craig be the republican nominee. 
Ward's chances may wane, as the leaders 
would be likely to choose a candidate who 
could attract to the democracy voters who 
might not follow the sheriff. William J. Carey, 
Joseph B. Hone. Judge John D. Lynn, are all 
possibilities should the canvass take such a 
turn. 

Hut if Mayor Cutler should be prevailed 
upon to reconsider his decision not to run 
again, the democratic leaders will he fo 
to take Ward as their standard-bearer and try 
to weld together and march to the polls on 
election day the forces which brought 
a Hearst victory last fall. Ward is an anti- 

11 



Organization politician. Of Celtic extraction, 
he prides himself upon his unbending opposi 

tion to anything which, he thinks, savors of 
encroachment upon the rights ol the plain 
people whose self-constituted champion he i-. 

In short, he might be styled the William Sulzer 

of Rochester politics and also a complete 

antithesis of James G. Cutler. 

Ordinarily speaking, in a contest between 
Cutler and Ward, betting odd. would he on 
tin- former. But it must he recalled that last 
fall the Rochester electorate gave -William 
Randolph Hearst a plurality over Charles 
Evans Hughes. 

POLITICAL NOTES 

The officers to he chosen this fall in New 
York state are: Two judges of the Cou 
Appeals to succeed Denis O'Brien and I-'.. 1-'. 
Bartlett; in Monroe count), a district attor- 
ney to succeed Stephen J. Warren and two 
coroners to succeed Henry Kleindierst and 
Thomas A. Killip; five assemblymen; a justice 
of the Supreme court in the Seventh judicial 
district, to succeed tin late James W. Dun- 
well; in the cil\ of Rochester, a mayor. | 
dent of the Common Council, comptroller, city 
treasurer, two assessors, two commissioners 
of schools, twenty-two aldermen and twenty- 
two supervisors. 

The people of the whole state will vote on 
;• proposition to reduce the population neces- 
•ar_. t< entitle a city to rank in the first-class 
Ero d 250.000 to 175,000. Should the state con- 
stitution be amended in this respect. Rochester 
will ecome a city of the first-class along with 
Xew York and Buffalo. 

While all tlu republican presidential po 
bilities havi been seen and beard in Rochester 
it is remarked that not since the soldiers' and 
sailors' monument in Washington square was 
dedicated has a president visited Rochester. 
At that time Benjamin Harrison delivered an 
address. Theodore Roosevelt made campaign 
speeches here in 1898 and as governor, offici- 
ated at the unveiling of tlu- monument to 
Frederick Douglass. Secretary of War Taft 
spoke at the Lyceum theater in 1904. Gover- 
nor Charles E. Hughes spoke in Rochester 
last fall. Bryan and Hearst on the democratic 
side are familiar to Rochester audi) 

Politicians are speculating as to whether the 
present city officers are to he renominated by 
the republicans. Alderman William Ward, 
however, is not worrying as to that. He is 
ire the next city administration will be 
democratic from to] om. 

Politics is re-> ne queer turns 

in events. Just imagine Thomas W. Finucane, 
millionaire clubman, shouting for Hearst, the 
trust-luster and Jackson the giant-killer.

Etiquette at Home and Abroad 

By KEITH GORDON 



What do we mean when we speak of eti- 
quette? Where do we get the word itself? 
Is 't of Latin or French origin? Truly it is 
difficult to bring it within the usual dictionary 
parlance. In some of the older English dic- 
tionaries it does not appear at all, and Walker, 
introducing it into his work, does so with 
apologies, although he gives some authoritives 
for deriving it from stichos, stichctus, stichetta. 
For myself, I think the word is a poor one 
and utterly inadequate to its present wide ap- 
plication. It savors too much of stiffness and 
punctiliousness, of exaggerated ceremonial and 
primness of observances altogether out of har- 
mony with our twentieth century ideas. I 
cordially wish we had a better word that could 
not he misinterpreted or misunderstood, and 
that would not be a target for all the ridicule 
and contempt that has been so mercilessly and 
so unjustly levelled upon this word of uncer- 
tain lineage. 

One reason, undoubtedly, for the misinter- 
pretation and the ridicule is to be found in 
the fact that the subject has so frequently been 
taken up by incompetent people who, with very 
hazy ideas themselves, have had the temerity 
to write rambling and incoherent guides to 
good manners, misleading and bewildering to 
one rash enough to follow their uncertain 
guidance. 

There is a sphere in every country where 
savoir vivre reigns and those who write or 
teach from without that sphere, will invariably 
become the victims of their sooner or later 
discovered fallibility. 

In Its True Sense 
Etiquette in its true sense, embraces the 
whole gamut of good manners, good breeding, 
true politeness. The class of persons not ac- 
cepting it in this sense is a large one, and they 
see little significance in it. To them the rules 
appear arbitrary and tyrannical, cramping, so 
they say, all individuality; so many trammels 
which should lie cast aside by stronger person- 
alities, and pandering to the bug-bear of class 
distinction. 'This is a free country, let every 
one do as he likes," is a favorite form of 
expression with them. With these persons, 
however, we need not concern ourselves, nor 
would argument convince them. We may 
safely leave them to that stern-eyed teacher 
called experience. Some of her reprimands 
will be certain to prove severe enough to con- 
vince them that even in a free country, well 
regulated society has a quiet way of enforcing 
her edicts and those who will not obey them 
are either forced to do so or ignored, and 



their places filled by worthier members more 
amenable to her gentle rules. 

Then there is that large class of persons, 
and it grows larger daily, who are aiming to 
rise in the social scale. Wealth is increasing 
so rapidly, bringing so many new votaries to 
the worship of luxury and beauty, that the 
charmed circle of the social elect is ever widen- 
ing, and these new arrivals realize they are in 
want of instruction in a new study. Many 
of them, however, would not for worlds ac- 
knowledge it. They have not the courage to 
confess they realize the want, but social knowl- 
edge they must pick up; so they devour with- 
out guidance and in secret, every book of eti- 
quette they can find. Oftentimes it is to them 
as the reading of an unknown tongue with 
no interpreter. What, then, is the result in 
this case? Well, they generally improve to a 
certain extent. They do not commit so many 
actual gauchcries, are not guilty of quite so 
many solecisms ; but too often they get only 
the letter of etiquette and the spirit remains 
a sealed book. Those rules they memorized, 
"What to do," "What not to do," were but the 
dry bones of a system that subtle essence that 
breathing upon those dry bones could clothe 
them with an ethereal body of beauty and de- 
light, that they altogether missed. 
Ease and Graciousness 
There is, therefore, an ever growing need 
for works on etiquette which are reliable and 
true to its real significance. Individuals who 
have led secluded lives or whose circumstances 
have held them in other spheres than those 
wherein well bred people move, need the 
information necessary to render them conver- 
sant with the manners and amenities of society, 
for even if endowed with tact and natural 
gifts, they alone will not give the ease and 
graciousness which make social intercourse 
delightful. Even those in the social system to 
whom these works are entirely unnecessary, 
like to read them. They derive some amuse- 
ment from the contemplation of absurdities (to 
them;, which are therein corrected and they 
feel a pleasant glow of satisfaction in being 
supported in their own knowledge by well 
informed writers and to compare notes with 
customs and observances they have found in 
other countries. But for all who would read 
or study these works, one consideration is ever 
necessary. Be sure the writer or teacher is 
one who knows his subject and never trust 
to one who is familiar only with the super- 
ficial structure which contains so many pit- 
falls for the ignorant. 

12 



Wrapped in its outward covering of rules 
and observances lies this eternal truth, that 
courtesy, unselfishness, consideration for 
others, are the foundation stones upon which 
etiquette builds the stately and beautiful fabric 
of Good Society. 

Broader Light 
Is not my first proposition then, a true one, 
that the word etiquette is too narrow for all 
it embraces ; it must be viewed in a double 
light and taken from the moral point as well 
as the conventional. A kindly nature, lovely 
spirit, must always be the essentials, but the 
conventions of society are necessary to give 
finish and completeness to the whole. When 
the conventional spirit is the stronger, there 
can be at best a surface polish only, but when 
unselfishness and kindliness of heart are para- 
mount and intercourse with their fellows is 
marked with the grace of conventional polite- 
ness, nothing omitted, nothing overdone, what 
perfection of charm we are sensible of. How 
we remember these gracious ones and how 

often we say, "How charming is, how 

considerate" ; "how courteous" ; or of her, 
"She is the most delightful woman, with most 
charming manners, I have ever met." 

In etiquette there is no uncertainty, no var- 
iableness of place or persons. Our manners 
of today should be our manners of tomorrow 
and the world will take our measures truly 
and retaining them, assign us to our places. 
The present code of etiquette is built up upon 
the culture, refinement, polish of centuries. Its 
rules are indispensable to the smooth working 
of society at large, and taken collectively, they 
are but the social obligations due from one 
person to another. Any one point of etiquette 
if brought to the bar of common sense, must 
be pronounced reasonable, proper and sensible, 
and strictly speaking, there is no question of 
etiquette that is ridiculous, arbitrary or tyran- 
nical. 

Why should we not be a well mannered 
people? Why should we not be refined, pol- 
ished, in our demeanor and bearing? Why 
should we not seek to be charming? Why 
should we not cultivate in ourselves consider- 
ation, thoughfulness and graciousness towards 
other in the smallest details of daily life. 

This, then, is the standpoint from which we 
shall consider the subject in subsequent arti- 
cles. Not only will certain rules be given in 
proper sequence, but each will be thoroughly 
explained and comprehensive instructions given 
respecting each and every form and phase of 
the subject under discussion, so that it may 
be clearly understood what is done, what is 
not done, and how what is done, should be 
done in Good Society.

THE DUSTY ROAD. 

There stretches far the dusty way, 

So slowly winding in and out, 
O'er head the great noon light of day 

Burns, casting shadows deep about ; 
While golden-rod and riotous weed, 

Strive with all conscious colors gay, 
To make the road seem bright indeed, 

And summer not so far away. 




My path my longing heart would see, 

Though roadward must not always gaze, 
Lest I shut out the sun for me, 

And see but dust and far off haze ; 
Then other souls that walk so near, 

I may o'erlook upon the way, 
That thought, or touch, or word of cheer, 

Might make the road less hard and gray. 

Florence Newell Barbour.

ROCHESTER, N. Y., SEPTEMBER 6, 1907 

To Loyal Rochesterians 

The advent of Every Friday has been anticipated with so much 
interest, and its scope and plans have been so generally explained 
during the period of its establishment, that the first issue of the 
magazine finds itself in the very agreeable position of occupying a 
place which has been made for it, in large measure. 

It has been repeatedly stated by discerning persons that there is 
a most promising field in Rochester and Western New York for an 
illustrated weekly magazine of the character of Every Friday. It 
is greatly to the credit of Rochester and surrounding territory that 
the residents evince a desire for the higher grade of periodical liter- 
ature and that there is plainly a discriminating sentiment in matters 
of music, art, the drama, fiction and social events. It is the purpose 
of Every Friday to endeavor to record attractively that which will 
appeal to our readers, and to this end the management will welcome 
suggestions from all who are so interested as to offer them. 

The contents of Every Friday will pertain especially to Roches- 
ter and vicinity, with due regard for both the home and the office. 
It will be independent at all times and will constantly endeavor to 
interest and to aid in the improvement of its readers. An especial 
aim will be to advance the interests of the city — social, civic, educa- 
tional and commercial. The magazine will be free from political 
influence and will stand impartially for the highest ideals of Ameri- 
can citizenship. 

With these objects in view, may we ask the support and en- 
couragement of residents of Western New York and of all who.v 
by reason of former associations, are interested in the welfare of 
this section of the state. 

Exigencies of time and methods often combine to affect the best 
laid plans of publishers; but we pledge our honest effort in our 
readers' interests. 



Tell Us Your Thoughts 

We want to make Every Friday better every Friday; we want 
to instruct, inform and entertain our readers each Friday; therefore, 



Open Season for Deer 

Rochester sportsmen who are fond of deer shooting should 
notice carefully two important changes that have been made in the 
game laws of this state. These amendments were passed by the 
legislature last session, and, as they have just been endorsed by the 
governor's signature, they are now operative. 

One of the new measures provides that the open season for deer 
shall begin on September 16th in each year and end on October 31st; 
but in other respects the wording of the old law. is unchanged. The 
other law amends the section relating to the transportation of 
venison to correspond with the change in the dates fixed for the 
hunting season. Last year the open season was from October 1st to 
November 15th, and for some years before that it lasted from 
September 1st to November 15th. The new transportation law 
reads, in part, as follows : 

"Deer or venison killed in this state shall not be accepted by 
a common carrier for transportation from November 4th to Septem- 
ber 15th, both inclusive, but if possession is obtained for transporta- 
tion after September 15th, and before midnight of November 3rd, it 
may, when accompanied by the owner, lawfully remain in the pos- 
session of such common carrier the additional time necessary to 
deliver the same to its destination." . 



Old Home Week Fallacies 

Judging by Boston's recent experience, it is to be sincerely hoped 
that Rochester will not contract the Old Home Week habit. Before 
the Week was half over, the better class of citizens began to real- 
ize that its original purpose had totally miscarried, leaving a result 
that is calculated to destroy the peace of mind of any and every 
other large town contemplating a similar celebration. Based on the 
successes which had been met in many small New England towns 
and villages in previous years, Boston's newspapers boomed the 
project for months to the extent of hundreds of columns of advance 
notices. Thousands of dollars were subscribed for the free enter- 
tainment of the Hub's alumni and alumnae. 

True enough, crowds swelled Boston's population for the time 
being; but inquiry showed that they were composed almost entirely 
of people who lived not very far away and who were merely at- 
tracted to see what their metropolis had to offer for their amuse- 
ment. Those who came from distant sections largely did so with 
an ulterior purpose that had nothing to do with Old Home Week. 
Boston's most loyal newspaper and the one that represents Boston's 
best spirit and maintains its highest interests, both commercial and 
traditional, characterized it as a "Wasted Week" and says that the 
thoughtful and responsible citizens of Boston hope the experiment ' 
will not be repeated. 

"It had its origin," it continues "in capricious motive and 
empirical purpose and the results have justified neither the shouting 
nor the expense. It has been a week taken out of the ordinary 
and organized activity of the city without the substitution of an 
equivalent. It has temporarily hurt the business of Boston and if it 
hasn't injured her reputation, it certainly hasn't helped it." 

The testimony of leading commercial houses in Boston serves, 
to add to the failure of the Week. One large firm says that its 
business fell off 33 per cent, from the previous week and the con- 
sensus of opinion among merchants is that trade was less than 
normal, instead of being better during that period.

EVERY FRIDAY 



Several business men of Rochester who had occasion to be in 
Boston that week formed precisely these opinions and it will be hard 
to get them to enthuse over any similar project for Rochester, At 
its best, clil Home Week, in the small towns, is a means of bring- 
ing together people who wen ce neighbors and acquaintances. 

It presupposes a place where such people will not be swallowed up 
in a miscellaneous crowd. A fete organized solely to bring people 
into a town with the endeavor to make them spend money, is bound 
to degenerate into vulgarity by whatever ingenious name it may lie 
called. Buffalo is "getting hers" this week with a vengeance and the 
indications are that the Bison City will have a wail to send up simi- 
lar to that which emanated from Boston. The circus element has 
held the upper hand throughout the week, in spite of One or two 
attempts at carrying t ml a serious programme for an hour or so. 



Lusitania's Great Effort 

Attempts to lower existing trans-atlantic speed records are always 
sure to arouse considerable public interest, but nothing in recent 
years has so stirred up hanking and commercial bouses on both 
sides of the "pond," to say nothing of individual travelers who for 
business or pleasure have frequent occasion to use the great ocean 
highways, as the departure to-morrow from Liverpool for New 
York via Queenstown of the turbine-driven Lusitania. As the result 
of her trial runs last month, during one of which she maintained an 
average speed of 25 1-4 knots for forty-eight hours, it is reasonably 
expected that fully one day will be saved in transit and if the 
Cunarder leaves Queenstown at 9 a. m., the regular hour -on Sunday, 
she should, at the above speed, reach Sandy Hook at 1 o'clock on 
Thursday afternoon and dock about three hours later. At a speed 
id' about 25 knots she would arrive two hours later at the Hook. 
The present record is held by the Lucania of the same line which 
during October 1904 covered the route in live days, seven hours and 
twenty-three minutes, the approximate distance between the two 
points being 2800 miles. 

The Lusitania's maiden trip is really also the supreme test of the 
turbine engine, which type, to the general surprise of steamship men. 
was rejected by the North German Lloyd company in favor of the 
quadruple-expansion when the engines for their Kron Princessin 
ile, the latest addition to their fleet, came to be ordered; and this. 
after the German company had closely watched the development of 
the turbine and after the success of its type had been demonstrated. 

The Cecile's maiden voyage last month was said to have been handi- 
capped by coal of poor quality and a crew of "green" stokers and 

five days, twenty-two hours and forty-live minutes was the best she 



could do between Bremen and New York, with stops at Southampton 

and Cherbourg, an average -.peed of 21.81 knots an hour for the 
3113 knots logged, or nearly 11 hours bfflind the record for this 

distance which is held by the Deutschland of the Hamburg-American 

line. The decision of the Cunard company to remove their head 
quarters from Liverpool I" Southampton before very long has caused 
the German companj to look upon them as their most formidable 

rivals for rapid transatlantic passenger and mail busini 

The Cunard company is reticent about the great effort lite I 
tania is about to make. It is known, however, that the British 
government which loaned the Cunard line $20,000,000 at 2K- per cent. 
to build the Lusitania and tin Maurctania I the latter now under 
course of construction) is confident that they arc- going to do what 
the builders of her turbines say she will do; that is, average 25 knots 
mi a round trip and when she sails back again on September 21st 
her mails should be delivered at the General I'ostoffice, London, by 
midnight on the following Thursday or early on Friday morning. 
The mails from the Campania and the Lucania. the fastest British 
steamships, now usually reach London on Saturday morning. The 
Lusitania is commanded by Capt. Watt and her chief engineer is 
Mr. Duncan from the Campania. She carries a complement of 900 
men, including 500 engineers and stokers and more than 300 cooks 
and stewards. As a floating palace of luxuriousness she cannot be 
outrivaled by the most modern hotels. She is 790 feet in length, 
88 feet in breadth and has passenger accommodations for 2350 
persons. In compliance with the British Admiralty requirements she 
is fitted as tin armed cruiser with 12 6-in guns and a dozen light 
firing guns. 

Latest advices from Liverpool say that the Lucania will also 
sail from that port to-morrow for New York, taking a start of two 
or three hours from the Lusitania. The latter may not be driven 
at her highest speed all the way on her maiden trip and as her elder 
sister can easily be relied upon to reel off a 21 knot clip, the Lucania 
has a sporting chance of reaching the Hook first, should anything 
cause the new ship to be slowed down to a normal rate. Both ves- 
sels are carrying full lists of passengers.

< Wall Street Bureau 
I of Every Friday 

New York, Sept. 5. — Have the security mar- 
kets passed through the worst of the financial 
storm? Or are they going to be subjected to 
a still more serious disturbance in the autumn? 
These questions are asked with much concern 
by uneasy Wall street. 

Without attempting to answer these ques- 
tions, it will be interesting to give some of the 
' principal indications which point towards or 
away from a period of financial disturbance. 
As a preliminary statement, it may be said that 
no survey of probable developments in the fu- 
ture is complete without considering the effect 
of the constant and large increase in the sup- 
ply of gold ; for an increase in the gold supply 
has two effects in reference to depressions. 
The best authorities generally agree that it 
hastens them by furnishing a larger stock of 
money and encouraging extravagant undertak- 
ings ; but it postpones them in so far as it 
creates greater buoyancy in business and read- 
ier ability to meet obligations. 

During the last ten or fifteen years the 
world's supply of gold has increased by 50 per 
cent. This enormous increase has caused a 
remarkable depreciation in the value of cur- 
rency. In other words, the exchanging value 
of a dollar has fallen, while wages and prices 
have risen. And as the dollar has depreciated, 
interest rates have appreciated. This is one 
of the reasons why gilt- edge bonds which 
used to yield 3 and 4 per cent, now sell to 
yield from Ay 2 to 5 per cent, and standard 
stocks sell to yield all the way from 6 to 8 
per cent. 

Indicating Depression 

Among the indications at the present time 
which might be taken to foreshadow another 
period of depression in the financial markets 
may be named the following: 

1. The active role of speculation in the 
stock exchanges and of credit in the industries 
of the world, observant capitalists say, are 
stretching the economic springs and making 
them more fragile. The credit collapse in 
1890 was preceded by very much such an 
August as this year, but the crisis did not 
come until 1893. 

2. The prices of iron and steel, which have 
furnished the best barometer in the past, would 
seem to indicate that we are in a fluctuating 
period. Prior to each of the recent depressions, 
iron has passed a maximum of price and then 
has fallen or fluctuated for a time before the 
crisis. 

3. There are indications of diminished ac- 
tivity and an absence of equilibrium between 
some kinds of production in certain branches. 
A disposition to go slow on large commercial 
undertakings is noticeable, and a feeling of 
conservatism generally prevails. 

16 



Tending Toward Confidence 
Among the indications, on the other hand, 
that a depression is not impending, are the 
following : 

1. The excellent financial condition of the* 
country, and the practical assurance of another 
year of good crops. The money market has 
experienced several severe shocks, unprece- 
dented losses have been suffered in the stock 
market, bankruptcies have occurred, and dis- 
closures of business mismanagement and dis- 
honesty have been made without apparently 
checking prosperity. 

2. Indications pertaining to foreign trade 
are favorable ; a feature being the maintenance 
for several years of an unprecedented propor- 
tion of exports. While it is true some kinds 
of exports show a slight decrease, it does not 
compare with that which has taken place prior 
to crises. 

3. Railway earnings continue to show a sus- 
tained increase, the dry goods trade is active 
and retail business is good. 

To sum up, many indications exist to war- 
rant the belief that the movement is still for- 
ward. Nevertheless, it is not to be forgotten, 
conservative bankers say, that a period of 
trade reaction is undoubtedly ahead. 

Rochester Stock Exchange 

Securities in the Rochester Stock Exchange 
have participated in the general depreciation 
of all first class securities which has charac- 
terized the disturbed financial situation at 
home and abroad since last January and 
March. In many issues losses have been se- 
vere, running from five to fifty points. The 
following table shows how some of the prin- 
cipal stocks have slumped from last year's top 

prices : 

•06 High '07 Low 

American Fruit 134-XJ 89^4 

Consolidated Telephone .... 30 10 

Eastman Kodak 292^ 244

N. Y. & Kentucky 300 255 

Pneumatic Signal 47^ 2 

U. S. Tel. Stock 50J4 V* 

U. S. Tel. Bonds 78</ 4 4 

With one exception, these large declines 
were not due to profound modifications or de- 
creased activities in local industries. The tele- 
phone situation excluded, all the leading in- 
dustries of Rochester have experienced an un- 
interrupted period of successful commerce and 
prosperous business. Earnings have increased 
enormously, concerns of both manufacturers 
and merchants have been widely extended, and 
accumulated wealth has been judiciously shared 
with stockholders in shape of liberal divi- 
dends. No more eloquent testimony of 
the soundness of local industrial and financial 
corporations could be found than the manner 
in which the unfortunate telephone catastrophe 
has been weathered.

Maude Adams in "Peter Pan" 

Maude Adams will open her season in "Peter 
Pan" at the Lyceum in this city on Monday, 
October 14th. When "Peter Pan" was produced 
here last season, twelve minutes were gained 
in handling the production over the time re- 
quired by the Empire theater in New York. 
This pleased Mr. Frohman, who told Mr. 
Wollf that he could choose between having 
Miss Adams in "Peter Pan" early this season 
or in a new play later on. Mr. Wollf replied 
that he would take Miss Adams in "Peter Pan" 
now and run his chances of getting her in the 
new play after the holidays. 

New Plans at BaKer 

The Baker Theater, originally constructed as 
a theater of the highest class, will again come 
into its own on Monday, September 16th, when 
it will be opened by Klaw & Erlanger as one 
of their circuit of vaudeville theaters operat- 
ing in the principal cities of the country, offer- 
ing their newest form of entertainment "Ad- 
vanced Vaudeville." It is announced that the 
opening hill will comprise an offering of Am- 
erican and foreign acts of unusual impor- 
tance. The theater is being entirely cleaned, 
renovated, re-decorated and refitted, so that by 
the opening night it will he practically a new 
playhouse. 

Virginia Earl Coming 

One of the interesting persons of stagedom 
is Virginia Earl. Perhaps not a modern Amer- 
ican actress is better known as a sincere inter- 
preter of her art. and an intelligent student of 
the stage and its analogous subjects. Vaude- 
ville is fortunate to claim the services of Miss 
Earl just now. She left her brilliant career on 
the dramatic stage to explore the variety field. 
How long she will be of the vaudeville ranks is 
not known. But it is certain that she will be 
in Rochester the week starting September t)th, 
when she will be the star attraction at the Cook 
Opera House. _^_^^_

FASHIONS 



By E. Y. PRINCE 



With fall season fast approaching we begin 
to realize that it is time to think of cool 
weather raiment and to wonder what to pur- 
chase. 

Latest advices from abroad tell us that this 
is to be a strictly tailor-made season and all 
costumes for public wear, in both suits and 
gowns, will be constructed along those lines. 

The two-piece suit is still very much in evi- 
dence, coats of which are almost entirely three- 
quarter length, though some are still short. 
It is a question of taste, however, as to whether 
they shall be loose or tight-fitting, the former 
being more generally becoming to stout figures. 

Suits of all kinds will be heavily braided, 
soutache braid having sprung into sudden 
favor — it is seen on everything including furs. 

For Street Wear 

Materials most in vogue for street wear are 
wide wale serges and cheviots, while broad- 
cloth still leads for dressy costumes. They 
come in stripes and are newer than the plain, 
though loth are equally in demand. Velvets 
and velveteens will be seen more than ever, 
as well as corduroys, and are stunning in the 
new shades. 

The large amount of braid and buttons used 
on everything tends to give a heavy appear- 
ance, and for this reason models must be 
selected with extreme care in order to be sim- 
ple yet elegant. 

Skirts continue to be plaited, but are not so 
full. Many circular skirts are also shown and 
are most desirable, especially for wear with 
long coats. 

Walking skirts are worn short tut those for 
house and evening wear rest on the floor all 
around. The Japanese effect is fast disappear- 
ing and with the exception of a few fur coats 
is seldom seen and cannot be recommended. 

Silks and Evening Gowns 

Silks and evening gowns of all kinds are 
profusely trimmed with lace and ribbons, those 
in Dresden effect with picot edge being espe- 
cially beautiful. 

Lace gowns will lead for formal occasions, 
while nets, chiffons, and light weight silks will 
be close seconds. 

"Chiffon Paon" the newest thing in velvet, 
is a light weight material, beautiful, lustrous 
and attractive. 

Almost every color is shown as being in 
favor, but one of the most popular is a new 
shade of purple, only to be described as like 
the purple of an egg plant. Pinkish lavenders 
are also beautiful, as are the cherry reds and 
numerous shades of brown. 

Indications point to longer sleeves both in 
waists and coats. In soft dress materials they 
are gathered, closely resembling the mous- 
quetaire sleeve of a few seasons ago. 

18 



Shirt waists are strictly tailored and are 
made in silk or French flannel. Those of 
linen and madras will also be much worn and 
all will be topped off with the exquisite em- 
broidered collar and a smart little satin bow 
tie. 

Waists and Neckwear 

Neck accessories were never more numerous 
or beautiful and are the one feminine touch

allowed in our otherwise masculine outfits. 

Plaid silk waists made on the bias are ex- 
tremely smart, but all stripes must be perfectly 
matched or the effect is lost. 

Lace waists are to be popular but are twine 
color in preference to pure white. 

An entirely new treatment of voiles and 
chiffon weight materials is in those showing a 
velvet pattern. These make extremely hand- 
some costumes both for day and evening wear. 

Quite the most decided fad is the scarf of 
chiffon, several of which must be included in 
every up-to-date wardrobe. These are draped 
carelessly around the shoulders.

Evening wraps continue long and full and

Fur coats "f all sorts and descriptions will 

be worn more than for years past, baby lamb, 
caracul, pony and dyed squirrel being popular. 

Fur models arc both long and short, loose and 
tight-fitting, hut all arc heavily trimmed with 
braid and fastened with fancy buttons. Storm 
collars of fur will probably he worn again, 
although it is a little too early to make an 
authoritive statement. Military effects are 
certain, however, and the straight tight-fitting 
collar will he seen on both fur and cloth alike.

the whole, stunning.

How You Feel About 
Your Own Teeth 



While it distresses you to see other people 
with defective teeth, the mortification is 
tenfold when the case is reversed, and it's 
your own that are out of condition. Es- 
pecially is this so if there happens to be a 
missing tooth in front, where you know 
everyone can see the gap. 

I bridge teeth in the same color, and the 
same shape as the natural ones and that's 
what every dentist can't do.

Those for whom the drama embodies some- 
thing a little more substantial than a matinee 
idol may seek diversion by anticipating a num- 
ber of good supporting companies. According 
to statistics gathered by an enthusiastic ad- 
mirer of the fair sex, the theater-going public 
is interested in women to a far greater extent 
than in men. It is natural, therefore, that wise 
managers should have been scouting for prom- 
ising material with which to bolster up several 
male stars whose brilliancy seems to be suffer- 
ing from the effects of a chronic eclipse. 

Some of those who will be prominently iden- 
tified with well-known stars are actors who 
have developed in the natural way, and have 
gained more or less distinction by doing con- 
scientious work. Others, less prominent, ap- 
pear to possess the requisite qualifications. 
Those who are cast for a part that has been 
played by another must stand the test of com- 
parison, but the abundance of new material

involves the pleasanter task of creating a new 
role. 

David Belasco has said that it sometimes 
requires a year to select a company of players 
in which every man and woman will be suited, 
both physically and temperamentally, to the 
part allotted to him: Mr. Belasco's theory, it 
seems, is not extremely popular. In this com- 
mercial age it is unreasonable to suppose that 
the requirements of the various parts are 
always considered seriously. It is true that 
the popular form of drama makes no great 
demands in this direction and specializing, ex- 
cept in the matter of "dress", becomes rather 
superficial. Possibly that may account for so 
many actors who play one part as well as 
another, but who play' no part well. 

But optimism is a valuable asset and much 
pleasure may be derived from anticipation. 
The present season promises a host of new 
plays, and we await with interest the appear- 
ance of those who are cast for prominent parts. 

Flora Juliet Bowley, who will support 
Robert Edeson in "Classmates," made her pro- 
fessional debut three years ago at Springfield, 
Mass., playing an important role with James 
K. Hackett in "Fortunes of the King." Miss 
Bowley had appeared in a number of amateur 
theatrical performances while at Smith Col- 
lege, Northhampton, and her work attracted 
Mr. Hacketfs attention. Later she was en- 
gaged by Henry B. Harris for a small part in 
"The Lion and the Mouse," and subsequently

Miss Dorothy Donnelly has been chosen to 
create the new role in Martha Morton's new 
play, "The Movers," originally intended for 
Grace Elliston. Miss Donnelly will be remem- 
bered for her excellent work with Arnold 
Daly in "Candida," and more recently, in "The 
Daughters of Men." 

Dorothy Tennant has been engaged for an 
important part in John Drew's new comedy, 
"My Wife;" and the plans of Jane Oaker, who 
has been appearing in Buffalo with the Wil-

nounced at this writing. 




OBSERVATIONS 
"When Knights Were Bold," recently pro 
d in New York, has failed to 
great amount of praise. 

" I he Alaskan," a comic opera by Joseph 
Blethen, Max Figman and Harry Girard, has 
been referred to a a novelty. A novelty in 

comic Opera is really startling. 'I he cast in-

for the edification of the trade. By the middle 
of September I shall be able to give full 
description of millinery really to be worn. It. 
seems certain, however, that we shall see 
plenty of short-nap beavers, many of which 
will be faced with velvet. 

Velvet hats will be as stylish as ever and

Stvles for Children 

In children's styles there is little if any 
change, the same smart little models used all 
summer still being the proper thing. 

Peter Thompson suits in navy blue serge, 
however, are always in good taste and give 
an air of distinction to a child for either school 
wear or traveling. In white serge they are 
dressy enough for informal parties and are 
frequently used for such. 

Jumper dresses are especially becoming to 
most little girls but for those inclined to be 
stout, the Russian or plaited model is gener- 
ally selected,

"A Stumbling Block" by Justus Miles Porman. 
Harper and Brothers, publishers. 

So much in the way of criticism and com 
merit has been written in connection with the 
popular fiction of the present day that nothing 
new or novel remains unspoken. It would be 
contradictory to criticize a style of fiction that 
has been branded with the seal of public ap- 
proval, and it is as useless to deny that the 
demand for this class of reading gives it a 
place in the field of American literature. 

"A Stumbling Block", by Justus Miles For- 
man, comes under this classification and it 
would be unfair to the author to consider it 
from any other viewpoint. As a book of fic- 
tion for light reading it serves its purpose and 
thus establishes ample reason for its existence. 
The interest in all books of this character 
naturally centers in the story, and in the 
present instance the hero chances to be a young 
author, David Rivers, who. by a combination 
of circumstances, is placed under the guardian- 
ship of a dissipated, disagreeable old uncle. 




JUSTUS M. FORMAN 

whose chief virtue seems to be regard for books. 

An experience of early life aggravated by 
a narrow environment stimulates the uncle's 
theory that marriage would be fatal to his 
nephew's literary aspirations. The boy is sent 
to tour the continent, ostensibly to acquire the 
invaluable knowledge that observation and 
direct contact with the world and its people 
affords, but primarily to forget his affection 
for Rosemary Crewe, a livable, girlish crea- 
ture, whom the author has surrounded with a 
halo of Greek beauty. 

The result is disastrous. A young woman, 
worldly in the broad sense and absorbed more 
or less in her own cynicism, meets David and 
imagines him her affinity. The marriage ter- 
minates unhappily and the story ends in an 
unusual it ii"t altogether satisfactory manner. 

The observing reader will be prone to crit- 
icize the lack of Style, for it must be admitted 
that while the book bears evidence of having 
been carefully written, it contains but few pas-

sages that indicate unusual constructive ability 
or the power of dramatic invention. It is the 
work of a careful, painstaking story teller 
rather than that of a brilliant, imaginative 
writer. The people are clear cut and well 
defined but lacking the breath of life that 
makes real men and women ; and an artificial 
atmosphere, enhanced by Mr. Forman's ver- 
bosity, destroys the spontaneity that is essen- 
tial to good character drawing. 

But " A Stumbling Block" is a readable 
book nevertheless — a book for an idle after- 
noon or -evening. Its shortcomings differ in 
no material way from those observed in the 
great mass of current fiction, and it will find 
favor among book lovers whose interest is in 
the story itself rather than in the way it is told. 
Like other books it has its uninteresting and 
impossible people, but there is one character 
well worth knowing — Rosemary Crewe, the 
fairy-like little creature who, through her love 
for David, gave him up that he might become 
a great writer. 

Justus Miles Forman is but little more than 
thirty years old. He was born in Le Roy, 
Genesee county. After graduating from Yale 
college he decided to become a painter and 
studied under Bouquereau, Boshchet and others 
in Paris. Painting did not long remain the ob- 
ject of his ambition. He felt impelled to write 
stories. He likes to write of American char- 
acters in American surroundings, although he 
spends half of each year in roaming to the 
most distant and out-of-the-way parts of the 
world. 




MUSIC NOTES 

The citizens of Rochester who have enjoyed 
the open-air concerts in the parks during the 
summer season, are deeply indebted to Frank 
G. Newell, Park commissioner, and to Theo- 
dore Dossenbach, leader of the Park band, for 
the privilege of having music of all kinds 
brought to them under such delightful condi- 
tions. The programmes presented have been 
varied to suit the taste and musical tempera- 
ment of all grades of society, and the frequent 
appearance of numbers from the classic com- 
posers shows an appreciation of good music. 

The Park band is worthy substantial sup- 
port from the city, as it is the music of this 
organization that has helped, in a great meas- 
ure, to extend our system of public parks. 

The dates of the Hermann Dossenbach sym- 
phony concerts to be given at the Lyceum 
theater this winter are as follows : Novem- 
ber 18th ; December 16th, Beethoven's birth- 
day ; January 6th ; February 3d, Mendelssohn's 
birthday; March 16th; April 27th. 

Solo artists will appear at each concert — and 
the program will comprise the best of musical 
compositions.

My Friend Lacey 

[ContinHtd from Fagt /".) 

six months, but no one ever raves over them 
because they do not credit me with any taste. 
And yet Lacey tells me that I have at least 
three that arc very much worth while. I 

haven't l.accy's way. 

Finally I want to tell one more tale on Lacey. 
lie always shakes liis head when the plate is 
passed in church and he makes no l»mes of 
telling people that he thinks that contributions 
should be voluntary and he never feels moved 
to give when the plate comes 'round. Well, 
most of us have thought it was a little out of 
Character, for with all His compelled thrift 
Lacey is not a mean fellow, as I hope my Trad- 
ers have divined, 

It came out last week however — and I make 
apology for telling it to the world at large — 
that for years Lacey has been the largest con- 
tributor to the church in the entire member- 
ship. What he doesn't spend on pictures and 
hired men lie give- to the church anonymously 
at Christmas. Now if people spread evil re- 
ports of their neighbor — and there arc unfor- 
tunately those who do— surely the Recording 

Angel will not lay it up against me if I tell 

of this generosity on the part of l.accv. And 
I want to say that 1 think it is just like him, 
and the next time 1 pass the plate to hint ( for 
I perform that office when the junior warden 
is away) I'm going to wink at him and he will 
know that all is discovered. 



"Luck!" 

"A great opportunity will only make you 
ridiculous unless you are prepared for it." 
Opportunities do not come to the man because 
he is "lucky." but it is simply the "lucky" man 
who grasps the opportunity — he's ready for it, 
he has been storing his braincry with knowl- 
edge — for he realizes that "there is no calamity 
like ignorance." 

lie has been years cultivating patience, pluck 
and persistence, lie is "lucky" because he ap- 
preciates the fact that "luck" is spelled with a 
capital "!'" — that "nothing is impossible to the 
man who will." and the "lucky" fellow simply 
knows that "the world will always listen" to the 
man with a will in him." 

"Luck" lies in led and wishes the postman 
would bring him the news of a legacy; labor 
turns out early and with busy pen or ringing 
hammer lays the foundation — the luck} I ? | 
man has been years studying the sweets of 
labor, the value of knowledge and the habits 
of concentration. lie has simply been intense 
in this enthusiasm, strong in his self-reliance, 
loyal in his industry, and this is "luck," "gen- 
ius" This is success ! 

I say to you. young men, that success and 
luck depend, on developing the qualities that 
are in you. Develop them. It was this very 
quality that made Xapoleon. (Inly recently 1 
read the following in a Chicago editorial: 

"When Xapoleon Bonaparte was resting 
from his lal ors at St. Helena, he used to tell 
this story : 

"'One day on parade a young lieutenant 
Stepped out of the ranks, much excited, to ap- 
peal to me personally, lie said to me that he

had been a lieutenant for five years and had 
not been able to advance in rank. I said to 
him: 'Calm yourself. 1 was seven years a lieu- 
tenant and yet, you sec a man may push him- 
self forward for all that.' " 

The "lucky" man is a life time preparing 
himself and developing himself for that oppor- 
tunity which is sure to come to all of us. 
"Victory belongs to the persevering." It he- 
longs to the courageous, to the ambitious. 
"Learn to place value," says a brother philos- 
opher. "Mix brains with labor," s;iys another. 
Read and reap a harvest of knowledge, shape 
and develop the "luck" that this power is cer- 
tain to bring you. — Whether in business, in art 
or science, it is spelled SUCCESS I

The Well=Known Hubbell Class 



Louis y. Foulkes 



TIM''. City of Rochester has within 
the last twenty years become 
known far and wide for its large 
Young Men's Bible classes. 

The largest of these is the well- 
known Hubbell class, of the First 
Baptist church, at Fitzhugh and 
Church streets, Rev. James Taylor 
Dickinson, pastor. 

This class was organized about fif- 
teen years ago with fifteen members, 
its quarters being a corner of the 
gallery of the Sunday School room. 
The class grew rapidly from the start 
and it was soon compelled to move to more commodious quarters. 
The membership numbers about eight hundred, the average attend- 
ance being about 250. The largest attend- 
ance for one Sunday is 460. 

Since its organization nearly 3000 men 
have been members of the class and these 
men becoming settled in different parts of 
this country have spread the fame of Roch- 
ester and the Hubbell class. This fact is 
shown not only by the hundreds of in- 
quiries received every year for information 
concerning the class and its methods, but 
also by the number of visitors representing 
every state in the Union as well as Canada. 
Australia and New Zealand. 

Loyally is the key note of its members 
and every man feels that he is in a measure 
responsible for its success. A large num- 
ber of its members are present every Sun- 
day of the year. One member, II. II. 
Scheele, has a remarkable record of being 
present every Sunday for fifteen years. 

Great stress is laid upon its music and the 
class is fortunate in having among its 
members Prof. Hermann Dossenbach and 
his quintette, and a male quartette consist- 
ing of the following well-known singer- : 
Herbert Tracy, J. W. Singleton. J. D. 
Benson and J. G. Curtiss. 

A class of young men, in order to grow 
and prosper must be active. While the 

class was organized for spiritual and moral improvement, it has 
social and athletic features, such as baseball, basket ball and bowling 
teams. The two main events of the year arc the mid summer pic- 
nic, usually held in August, and the annual banquet in February. 

Walter S. Hubbell, the teacher of this class, is one of the most 
prominent attorneys of Rochester, and has been its teacher since the 
class was organized. Through his personal work and efforts the 
class has gained its success and present position in the n 
world.

An Appreciation of Rochester 

At the very top of the imposing Chamber of 
Commerce building, commanding a composite 
view in all directions of wholesale, industrial, 
commercial and residential Rochester, are the 
offices of the Rochester Chamber of Commerce, 
presided over by S. R. Clarke, the secretary 
of the organization. There, with the inspira- 
tion afforded by this wonderful panorama of 
industry, activity and phenomenal progress, 
the interests of the city are studied and pro- 
tected and there plans are formed and exe- 
cuted for the purpose of aiding in the growth 
and development of Greater Rochester. 

Mr. Clarke has not been here long. He 
comes from California, the Golden State, in 
that Empire of the Far West, where pride 
of country and promotion of interests of city 
and state are synonymous with citizenship, 
and where the work of upbuilding and "boost- . 
ing," as it is more frequently termed, is in- 
dulged in to a marked degree. 

Mention Rochester and Mr. Clarke is inter- 
ested at once. Suggest Greater Rochester and 
a responsive chord is touched that brings into 
play all the enthusiasm and fire of this enthu- 
siastic young man from the West. He is one 
man of a few who thoroughly realize the ad- 
vantages of this city, past, present and — great- 
est of all-^-future. This is because he has 
studied the advantages of conditions in vari- 
ous parts of the country and knows by expe- 
rience and observation just how far in advance 
of other cities Rochester stands. 
Almost Speechless 

Asked what was the best thing about Roch- 
ester Mr. Clarke was almost speechless for a 
moment. "That is the hardest question you 
could have asked. There are so many best 
things. Everything is 'best' There never 
was another city so favorably situated, so 
wonderfully developed, and yet one that had 
as many opportunities for further develop- 
ment and growth along ideal lines. 

"Look at our present wonderful growth. It 
is without a parallel in present day history. 
It is the biggest, steadiest and healthiest 
growth I have ever seen, and indications are 
that it will continue indefinitely, in spite of 
any adverse outside influence that may or can 
arise. Everything is teeming with life and 
action in all sections of the city and in every 
line. There is no inaction or backwardness 
anywhere. 

"And yet I think the best thing about Roch- 
ester is her extraordinary advantages for man- 
ufacturing. By this I mean several things. 
First the immense water power that is being 
and can be developed. This water power is 
an immense magnet, compelling the establish- 
ment and operation of countless industries, 



grouped and bunched and crowded about it 
on every side, and necessitating the employ- 
ment of thousands of wage earners of both 
sexes. 

"Then there are the advantages afforded for 
securing and maintaining a full quota of these 
wage earners, and the influences which contrib- 
ute to make their services of so much more 
value to their employer. I refer to everything 
that has an effect on their daily lives from 
the beginning of the year to the end. The 
large number of beautiful homes that are 
owned by wage earners, the modern construc- 




S. R. CLARKE, SECRETARY 
Rochester Chamber of Commerce 

tion of the factories, the many recreation 
parks, the free band concerts and other high 
class features for their relaxation ; the lack of 
contamination in the air and water of the city 
and the general healthy condition of the entire 
section cannot fail to have their effect on the 
men and women of the city and make their 
services more valuable to their employers in 
the amount and value of the work they per- 
form. 

More Homes Needed 
"Along (lie same line, but a step in advance, 
is the large number of beautiful summer re- 
sorts in or near the city. They afford the 



highest class recreation for the masses at com- 
paratively small cost. 

"The worst thing? Oh, let's not talk about 
that. And yet — yes, I think the worst thing 
about the city to-day is the lack of available 
homes for the many persons the expansion of 
the city is bringing into it, and the want of 
workers to properly equip the industries of the 
city — particularly women. Help is needed 
constantly all over the city, and homes to 
house the new families who are needed are not 
to be found. But these conditions are natural 
and are to be expected. Strenuous efforts 
are being made to remedy them and the only 
trouble is that the growth is too fast. The 
building operations this year amount to more 
in dollars and cents than ever before in the 
history of the city, and yet no perceptible re- 
lief can be noticed. 

Rochester's Future 

"Rochester's future? Who can say? It will 
undoubtedly exceed all our greatest expecta- 
tions. In fact, it is going that way now as 
fast as possible. Traveling salesmen say it is 
a pleasure to sell Rochester goods, and a sort 
of an advantage as well, as 'Made in Roch- 
ester' is recognized all over the world as a 
stamp of unusual excellence. It would seem 
as though the younger generation should study 
the situation and try to realize the importance 
of this city, and by putting their shoulders to 
the wheel and telling the world what they 
themselves have learned, make it a world pow- 
er of commercial influence to a degree not 
hitherto imagined. 

"One of the greatest projects under way to 
benefit Rochester now is the plan to make it 
a convention city of the first magnitude. With 
the new convention hall and the large hotels now 
building, it is planned to bring many large con- 
ventions and gatherings of national importance 
here each year, and nothing that can be done 
will equal this in benefits that are bound to 
accrue from the visits of persons who attend 
gatherings of this sort. Next year will see 
many of them, and each succeeding year will 
show an increase in the number."

Educational Value of Music 

"Our world is a college, events arc teachers, 
happiness is the graduating point, character 
is the diploma < !od gives man." 

With the re-opening of our public schools, 
teachers and parents are confronted with the 
problem that should be the main < >l>j t-et of life: 
namely, the formation of character through 
proper study and discipline. 

l',\ discipline is meant that influence which 
brings mind and body under control until 
right habits are formed, thus enabling chil- 
dren to recognize and obey certain laws that 
have reference to their own good, as well as 
consideration for the rights of others. 

\ good teacher will study the children more 
than hooks, and try to awaken in them "the 
/<>;v of learning which is better than learning 
itself." She will till the atmosphere of the 
schoolroom with cheerfulness and joy, so the 
education gained therein will be one of the 
pleasures of life; and the process of acquiring 
knowledge, a privilege and a blessing. If 
children are given a wholesome variety of 
mental food, which will cultivate the mind 
without straining the memory; but at the same 
time convej to them ideas that bear relation- 
ship to their daily wants and occupations, they 
will do much to educate themselves. 

Pestalozzi tells us that: "Real interest taken 
in the task of instruction, kind words and 
kinder feelings — the very expression of the 
features, and the glance of the eye, are never 
lost upon children." 

They are naturally eager for information; 
which, if brought to their minds in a simple, 
truthful way, will give' them the wish to ob- 
serve, and to think rightly about what they 
observe. Minds thus awakened will become 
interested in nature, art. music, poetry and 
history; for. by giving the love of learning, 
"the learning itself will follow." 

In some of our schools are many children 
of foreign parentage, who do not speak, or 
readily understand the English language. This 
condition adds to the difficulty of the teacher's 
task; bat it may be overcome, if music or 
song be made the basis of instruction. Music 
is a language understood by all nations. It 
give- joy and happiness to a child ami quick- 
ens his imagination. It not only charms his 
ear. but touches his heart. It has been said: 
"If we fill a child full of song, there will be 
no room for sense of wrong." 

While music is of value to the intellectual 

development of children, its greatest g 1 

comes through the emotions. Every touch of 
noble emotion lifts them nearer to God. 
broadens their sympathies, and kindles love for 
all that is good, true and beautiful. 

In this age of commercial strife, our children 




By M. URSULA ROGERSON 

need this influence to arouse in them a deepei 
regard for humanity; and reveal to them the 

fact that, although money and i t> influence! 
are not indispensable to this life, they are not 
always the sources from which may be ob- 
tained the greatest good or happiness. Music 
like all education is a creative force; which if 
properly used, is capable of awakening in the 
individual latent powers that might otherwise 
remain dormant and useless. 

The exercise of singing is a physical hene-

lit to children. To sing well, they must breathe 
well. This alone, would prevent the forma- 
tion of the lad habit of "open-mouth breath- 
ing" which is the cause of much throat and 
lung trouble. Singing also stimulates the cir- 
culation of the 1 lood. and increases the powers 
of observation and concentration, thus enab- 
ling the teacher to accomplish better result-. 

It is in childhood that the ear must be 
trained. A child may sing from a verv early 
age. He cannot learn the technical qualities 
of a musical composition; but he can learn by 
imitation the simple melodic- of the great 
masters that are found in hymns, folk song- 
and national air-, and which constitute the 
foundation "i a musical education. From 
daily practice of these hymns and folk songs 
he may graduall) be led to understand a sym- 
phony, an opera, and an oratorio. 

Our public school rooms are often over 
crowded, thus depriving each child of its right- 



ful portion of fresh air, causing fatigue. 

"When a child is fatigued, he K nol Inn 
a part of him has temporarily gone out of ex- 
istence. What remain- i- something that be- 
longs to a more primitive state of civilization." 

lie needs to be aroused; to be given recrea- 
tion that shall put him in harmony with his 
surroundings. How may this be done? By 
admitting a supply of fresh air. and allowing 
him to stand on his feet, to hold his body erect, 
with head up; and to sing a simple mi 
This act would require but a few moments' 
time, and the re-ult would be of inestimable 

value to both child and teacher. 

I.et the child begin every school day by 

singing a hymn of praise to his Creator. What 
a majestic wave of spiritual significance would 
sweep over our city, if at the same hour every 
morning all the children in our public Si 
were to sing the same words in praise of God. 
Tin- would not. in any way. interfere with the 
sect or creed of the child; for God is in all 
Christian beliefs and the Creator of all life. 

Mil the other hand, it would serve to blend 
and harmonize the various beliefs that are 
gathered within the school walls; and awaken 
a chord of sympathy between child and teacher, 
home and school, that would help to overcome 
many of the obstacles that now hinder social 
progress. When a child has become familiar 
with one simple hymn of a great composer. 
li;t- learned something of the life of the com- 
poser, and accompanies the hymn with words 
of an inspired port, he ha- taken a Step to- 
ward an appreciation of all great musical com- 
positions. Simple story and song may be 
made a part of the language lesson for the

reading, writing and spelling. Children may 
Income better mathematicians by the study of 
music, for it is ruled by mathematical laws. 

As these laws constitute "the supreme order 
of the ideal which reason alone conceives." 
they develop the reasoning powers of the 
child. Since music is a reflection of the best 
that is in a human being, its broad culture may 
become a great power in our land. It is not 
made up of clans and castes, and this leads 
in- to believe that if there is ever equality in 
the world, music will be one of the agents to 
bring it about 

"Music is an art that God has given in 
which the voices of all nations may unite 
their prayers in one harmonious rhythm." As 
parents and teachers, we can do no better work 
than to encourage this art as the basis of our 
public school education. The soul- of little 
children inspired and awakened b\ the 
and song of the great masters, will become

Sec'y. AUTOMOBILE CLUB 



Young Driver of Experience 

There has been much discussion in this and 
other cities in regard to the younger members 
of a family driving cars. There is no doubt 
that there are a number of young folks driv- 
ing automobiles who should still be playing 
with their express wagons and toy trains and 
should not be allowed to venture out on the 
streets alone with a machine. There are also 
a number of older people who should have the 
same restrictions. Women driving cars usually 



course there are exceptions, and some drivers 
will fiy past a machine in trouble with no 
more than a look and a laugh. This class 
comprises those who are the first to look for 
assistance when the trouble is on their side. 
The writer had an experience with one of 
this kind a few weeks ago. We stopped at 
the side of the road with some minor trouble, 
when a large touring car came shooting by 
with but a glance in our direction. A short 
time afterward we came in sight of a car

are careful, and an accident to a car with a 
lady driver is an uncommon occurrence. But 
those of the younger generation who drive 
cars about the streets do not use the judg- 
ment and caution needed to drive an auto- 
mobile, especially through the business section 
of the city. Accidents and damage to the 
cars caused by these inexperienced persons are 
a matter of everyday occurrence. 

Of course there are exceptions. One of 
whom is Karl W. Hibbard, son of W. W. Hib- 
bard, a prominent broker of this city, shown 
in the accompanying illustration. The writer 
recently had the pleasure of a 200-mile drive 
in his car and was pleased to note how com- 
pletely the machine was under control through- 
out the entire trip, and the good judgment 
used where needed. One other point noticed 
was that young Hibbard thoroughly under- 
stands the mechanism of the car and this point 
is what many older drivers should get inter- 
ested in. 



and a man in the road waving his hands for 
us to stop. We recognized the party in the 
large touring car and found that it had a 
blowout and no tire irons. We heaped coals 
of fire by putting on the tire. This class of 
motorists, fortunately, are in the minority, 
and if you are in trouble on the road and a 
car passes, you usually hear : "Can we help 
you?" "Do you need anything?" Even if 
you do not need any help it is a pleasure to 
know they are willing to assist. The accom- 
panying illustration shows a case where he 
was indeed a "friend in need." 



And Then They Cranked Up 

An automobile dashed along the country 
road. Turning a curve, it suddenly came upon 
a man with a gun on his shoulder and a weak, 
sickly looking old dog beside him. The dog 
was directly in the path of the car. The chaf- 
feur sounded his horn, but the dog did not 
move, until he was struck; then it was all over. 

The automobile stopped and one of the men 
got out and went forward. He had once paid 
a farmer ten dollars for killing a calf that be- 
longed to another farmer. This time he was 
wary. 

"Was that your dog?" 

"Yes." 

"You own him?" 

"Yes." 

"Looks as if we killed him." 

"Certainly looks so." 

"Very valuable dog?" 

"Well, not so very." 

"Will ten dollars satisfy you?" 

"Yes." 

"Well, then, here you are." 

He handed a ten-dollar bill to the man with 
the gun, and added pleasantly, "I'm sorry to 
have broken up your hunt." 

"I wasn't goin' huntin'," replied the other 
as he pocketed the bill. 

"Not going hunting? Then what were you 
doing with the dog and the gun?" 

"Goin' down to the woods to shoot the dog." 



Motorists going to Buffalo or Batavia will 
find it advantageous to take the Churchville 
road instead of the Scottsville road at pres- 
ent. 

The water system of a car should be cleaned 
after a period of continued service. It can be 
flushed out by breaking a joint in the piping 
and attaching a hose to the end. This will 
remove the rust and mud from the radiator, 
engine jacket and piping. 



Courtesy on the Road 

It is a pleasure to note the good feeling ex- 
isting among most users of automobiles on 
the road, and the willingness to lend a helping 
hand to a fellow motorist when they come 
upon him down and out by the road side. Of

Will This Plan Succeed? 

Movement Under Way to Force George W. Aldridge to Become Republican 

Candidate for Mayor of Rochester 



By WILLARD A. MARAKLE 



With tin' primaries but ;i few days off -next 
Tuesday — the local political situation is as 

full of kinks as it was a mouth ago. There 
is no avowed mayoralty candidate on either 
siik'. True, there is talk of Mayor Cutler 
F01 a third term, of .Sheriff William 11. Craig, 
Justice John M. Davy, of Senator Thomas B. 
Dunn, of Richard Gardiner on the republican 
side ; hut talk is all there is to it. 

If George W. Aldridge and James L. Hotch- 
ki<s. who will have the casting vote in the 
selection of the republican mayoralty candi- 
date, have agreed upon a choice, they are 
keeping their own secret well. None of the 
underlords have the slightest definite idea as 
to who will head their ticket. 

Hut there is a movement to force Mr. Ald- 
ridge t«> accept the republican nomination For 
mayor. Varied are the forces behind this. 
They may be divided into three elements. 

h'irst, personal admirers of the man who 
believe he would make as great a mayor as 
he has a clever state politician. Second, thns>- 
who would like Mr. Aldridge for mayor be- 
cause witli him in charge in the City llall they 
believe practical polities of the old school 
would be the vogue and the practical politi- 
cians would be in clover. This class, playing 
polities from the selfish and the personal 
standpoint, cannot see, or learn, or be made 
to understand that civil service reform, a half- 
way decent respect for the conventionalities, 
at least a simulated regard for orderly proc.-d- 
ure. is to prevail in public life for the next 
few wars, bather they do not care or they 
lack the judgment which foresees that to make 
Mr. Aldridge mayor and then ask him to "go 
tin limit." would be tantamount to inviting 
the republican party, leader and organization, 
to commit political hari-kari. 

The third element in the Aldridge mayor- 
alty movement is made up of republican and 
democratic enemies of Mr. Aldridge who are 
riding him. as they hope, for a fall. Could 
they hut succeed in placing him at the head 
of the republican ticket, every one of them 
would enroll as a republican and vote the 
democratic ticket on election day. If the re- 
publican ticket were defeated, they would rush 
to the front and seize tin- reins of republican 
leadership. These are praying for Aldridge's 
nomination in city convention and defeat on 
election day. 

Mr. Aldridge is a shrewd politician and 
should be able to distinguish between honest 
desire and thinly veiled dissimulation, between 
gold and dross. Prol ably, to him as to every 
other political leader has come a dream of 
how differently he might govern were he in 
control instead of an iitfermcdiarx . and he 



has Figured On what might happen if be put it 
to a test. Even a seasoned campaigner like 
Senator Piatt, was well nigh swept off his 
Feet by the gubernatorial boom launched for 
him at a republican state convention not si, 
many wars ago, and it took the combined per- 
suasion of all his friends to convince him 
that, even if elected, bis prestige as leader 
would be likely to wane steadily. 

A leader may solicit favors from or proffer 
advice to a president, a governor, a mayor. 
If refused, he does not bear all the blame, 
and his leadership is not impaired, necessarily. 
But let him be the dispenser of patronage, the 
fountain-head of power, and no mailer how 
excellent an official he may be he will be con- 




GEORGE W. ALDRIDGE 

demned if be does and condemned if be don't. 
Croker, Murphy. Connors. McLaughlin, all re- 
pelled aspirations to tempt fate by running for 

high elective offices. 

If Mr. Aldridge has drunk his till of the 
leadership cup, he may be drawn into the 
mayoralty net. Undoubtedly he would make 
as good a mayor as any man he might name 
and control, but could he retain his leader- 
ship and hold the mayoralty? Odell as gov- 
ernor and state chairman did not make a pop- 
ular combination. Could Mr. Aldridge suc- 
ceed where Odell failed? Could Mr. Aldridge 
lay down the leadership temporarily and be 
permitted to resume it at the close of his 
term? What increase in prestige . would the 
mayoralty net bini. anyway? 



1 II course all this i, premised upon rcpubli 
can success with Mr. Aldridge as the candi- 
date There is always present the alternative 
of defeat. Unsuccessful contest for tin- may- 
oralty, and tin- turning over to the democrac) 
of the municipal administration and patron- 
vould be likely to cost Mr. Aldridge his 
leadership. 

Nevertheless, one of the contingencies Mr. 
Aldridge may have to face inside of a month, 
unless he puts his foot down hard, is that 
the republican city convention may be stam- 
peded for him as was the democratic state 
convention for David lb Mill in 1894. If that 
happens, and Mr. Aldridge accepts, then the 
battle of I'M)/ will be a memorable one in local 

political annals, as tic. .rye W. Aldridge is a 
skillful political campaigner. 



POLITICAL GOSSIP 

If the democracy adopts as its battle cry, 
"Down with Aldridge." the republicans could 
parry neatly by "Up with Hughes!" 

Reformers and theorists would divorce- 
local and state and national issues, but that 
is impossible so long as municipal nominations 
are made by party conventions ami municipal 
patronage is the reward of successful party 
workers. 

Uncle Jacob Gerling is not worrying over 
municipal politics, lb has his umbrella, his 
state committcemanship and his state land ap 
praisership. 

Congressman Jane- I'.. Perkins is not lying 
awaks (.'nights figuring whether Taft or 
Hughes will be president, i le has broken 
latter-day records in Monroe county and bids 
lair to go to Washington until he lands in 
the speaker's chair if Uncle Joe Cannon ever 
relinquishes it 

It is expected that Monroe county's deb ■_ 
to the Seventh judicial district convention will 
be lor Count) Judge S. Nelson Sawyer, of 
Wayne county. The other leading candidate 
is County Judge William Carter, of Livingston 
county. 



"The Call of the Wild" 

How loudly calls the wilderness. 

There's many a man can tell. 
Though in a city's busy life. 
For long years, he may dwell 
I '.ut in his heart, so sweet and clear 
I le hears the restless 

( )r feels the forest atmosphere, 

Forever wild and free. 

Beyond the touch of counting house. 
Beyond the clink of gold, 
I he wilderness still calls him home.

An International Episode I 

First Official Explanation of Controversy Attending Recent Contest for Canada's Cupi 

—Rochester Yacht Club's Review. 



Now that the smoke of the recent battle 
for the Canada's Cup has blown away, and 
the excitement that marked the occasion has 
died out, a more sober-minded view of the 
controversy which led to not a little unpleas- 
antness, may be taken. The crux of the whole 
affair rested on a technicality, insignificant so 
far as the real test of merit was concerned, 
yet of sufficient importance in the eyes of the 
offensive force as to afford ample opportunity 
for the display of hair-splitting maritime law 
as applied to yacht racing. The Canadians 
were the aggressors, and granted certain 
premises, they were acting entirely within their 
rights. The Americans, being absolutely un- 
able through no fault of theirs to comply with 
the letter but acting within the implied spirit 



By CLUTE E. NOXON 

sentatives of both the Royal Canadian and 
Rochester Yacht clubs. Innocently enough, 
and with scarcely a passing criticism, the 
clause which proved to be the cause of all the 
difficulty, crept into the conditions. It speci- 
fied that each club should submit plans of its 
representative yacht to a referee on measure- 
ment of displacement and L, and whose de- 
cision in the matter should be final. 

The races were to be sailed under the Yacht 
Racing Union Rules, with such additions as 
were provided for in the special agreement, 
and those rules called for the ascertainment 
of displacement and L measurements in three 
ways, viz: 1st, By weighing the boat; 2nd, By 
accepting the designer's certificate for them; 
3rd, By taking off templates from the boat, 




YACHT ADELE 

of the rules, were equally in an impregnable 
position. The challengers insisted strictly on 
the letter of the conditions being observed. 
arguing, and with reason, that the spirit was 
but a corollary of the letter. The dispute was 
settled after a long discussion, by the sugges- 
tion of the neutral judge, Oliver Cromwell, 
who considered that the defending organiza- 
tion was able to make its boat meet every 
qualification, and that the technical question 
should be waived. 

Conditions Signed 
The conditions governing the Canada's Cup 
races were signed nearly a ye.ar ago by repre- 



YACHT SENECA 

and making calculations therefrom. The Y. 
R. U. rules also specify that if at any time, 
a designer's certificate shall be proven to be 
incorrect, his boats in future will not be al- 
lowed to sail in any races held under this as- 
sociation. It is consequently inconceivable 
that HerreshofF would have taken chances of 
giving a false certificate. 

As to Showing Designs 
Not until late in January, 1907, was it de- 
finitely known that Nat G. Herreshoff stood 
ready to produce a cup defender. Never for 
a moment did the opinion prevail in the minds 
of the committee that plans of the new boat 



would be unavailable. So far as the writer 
knows, there existed not a doubt as to the! 
designer's willingness to furnish the lines of; 
the boat he was constructing to the referee 
for the purpose of measurement when called 
upon to do so. The first intimation the Roch- 
ester Yacht Club had of the approaching diffi- 
culty, was when Mr. Hanan, Seneca's skipper, 
came to Rochester a few days before the 
races and stated that he had been unable to 
secure Herrcshoff's plans; that they would 
not be given up under any circumstances. 
The earliest Canadian arrivals, who were 
clothed with authority to act, were appraised 
immediately of the dilemma in which the de- 
fending organization found itself. They were 
informed frankly, that owing to unforeseen 
conditions, the Rochester Yacht Club was in 
a position that made a strict compliance with 
the racing agreement an absolute impos- 
sibility; that in consequence of Mr. Her- 
reshoffs refusal to submit plans of Seneca 
to a referee, the clause in the conditions call- 
ing for such a procedure, was a stumbling 
block that halted further progress unless an 
expedient could be mutually agreed upon 
which would nullify the technicality. They 
were told that the R. Y. C. stood ready to do 
anything possible that the R. C. Y. C. could 
suggest to satisfy them. 

Canadians Cautious 

The Canadians were inclined to be cautious. 
They were prepared to divulge the secrets of 
their boat; why were not the Americans also? 
The answer was but a reiteration of the 
former statement. Because they were power- 
less to compel the Wizard of Bristol to violate 
a company rule. Would it not be wise to tele- 
graph Mr. Stephens, the referee, to go to 
Bristol and endeavor to take off Seneca's lines 
from the drawings? That had already been 
done, and Mr. Stephens had replied that he 
was unable to go to Bristol. Could not some- 
one else do it? Perhaps so, if the challengers 
would agree on a substitute referee. They 
would, and named Mr. George Owen of Mas- 
sachusetts, a former employee of the Herres- 
hoffs, and a close friend of Nat G. Herres- 
hoff. Mr. Owen's name was agreeable to 
both sides. Instructions were immediately 
telegraphed and telephoned to him. He con- 
sented to act and went to Bristol. The de- 
signer was away on a cruise and the plans 
were not to be seen. Mr. Owen came to 
Rochester prepared to measure the yachts. 
Mere measurement of the racers was not 
what the Canadians wanted; they demanded 
the plans from which to take the measure- 
ments. They desired to know if HerreshofFs 
figures were correct; whether the defender's

EVERY FRIDAY 



displacement corresponded witli her sail area. 

A designer's certificate, everywhere 

nized as sufficient guarantj oi a yacht's eligi- 
bility i" sail in a prescribed diss, afforded 
thru; no satisfaction. The more they saw of 
Seneca, the more skeptical they became, 
Local officials offered to do anything in their 
power t<> convince Canadians that the Her- 
reshoff boat would measure into the class for 
ulmh sin- was luiilt. They volunteered to go 
to any trouble and any expense to demonstrate 
the eligibility of their boat, if the clause per 
fining to production of the plans were waived 
from tin' conditions. Their eagerness to do 
,1m found favor with but a few. Disobeyance 
of cup conditions was a grave mistake; one 
that could not be pardoned nor condoned. 
I in , i Iharges Made 
Our official, ^emilius Jarvis, high in author- 
ity, openlj charged that the defenders never 
intended to live up to the agreement from the 
moment it was signed; moreover, that mem- 
i the building committee knew long be- 
forehand that they could not get plans from 
Herreshoff. This quickly precipitated an 
argument that marked the crisis. The Roch 
ester Yacht Club was branded with a libel, 
It still lacked twenty-four hours to the time 
set for the fust race. 

The Canadians claimed plans of their boat 
were ready. The challengers bad qualified for 
the contest, and if the Rochester Yacht Club 
had not done so. it was through the fault of 
no one but the officials of the latter organiza- 
tion. Unless Seneca's plans were produced, 
no matter what her measurements actually 
were, and the yacht was at the line ready to 
race by 1 :30 p. m. Saturday, the cup must he 
surrendered. No postponements would le 
"ranted. Then for the sake of the sport, and 
in order not to disappoint the crowd-., the 
Royal Canadian Yacht Club would put up a 
cup of equal value or a trophy Hag, and race 
for either. To this proposition. Americans 
indignantly refused to accede. They had keen 
preparing for this contest for ncarlv a year. 
They had gone before die business men of 

Rochester to enlist support of their endeavor 
to retain the cup, and in doing so thev had 
mad.- no misrepresentations. They would sail 
for the Canada's Cup or not a halliard on 
Seneca would he touched. They would enter 
into no compromise that had fur its object 
forfeiture of the Great Lakes championship. 

It was for the judges to say whether condi- 
tions warranted such a procedure as demanded 
h\ the Canadians, and if in the opinion of the 
former, the Rochester Yacht Club, was at- 
tempting to he unfair, or lake any advantage 
inconsistent with honor, then the club was 
willing to accept defeat without a race and 
lose the cup by default 

Judges Appreciated Situation 
The judges appreciated the local club's situ- 
ation. It had been placed in an awkward 
position by the idiosyncrasy of a great de- 
signer. In their opinion, there was hut a 
single harrier-figures of Seneca's displace- 
ment They could he obtained only bj 
ing the boat or accepting the design. 
tificate, or by taking off templates, which 



could not he done in the required time limit.

within the knowledge of local members, the 

dispute over displacement would have been 

settled days before. 

The Canadians were aware of this I'" 
well as Americans, but it was not until the 
day before the race that they imparted the 

information that in Toronto there were live 
pairs of steelyards capable of registering 
weight Up to twenty tons. The local com- 
mittee offered to send to Toronto for a pair 
if a postponement of the race were granted. 
hut to this proposition the challengers would 
not assent. Finally the idea was conceived 
of dismasting Seneca, stripping her of all rig- 
ging, hoisting her on a tlat car and running

the car to the platform scales of an ore 
foundry at Charlotte. It meant a night's work 
ami no sleep for those who were willing to 
engage ill the undertaking, hut it had come 
to a point now where scores of the members 
were anxious to see the boat qualify. 

Weighing the Seneca 

The meeting adjourned after 10 o'clock Fri- 
day night, and active preparations were made 
to have Seneca weighed. Every official con- 
nected with the ore foundry pledged his as- 
sistance. It had been rumored late in the 
evening that a linn in Rochester possessed a 
pair of steelyards that would register ton 
i,, ns. This rumor resolved itself into a happy 
reality after midnight, when it was learned 
that the Hydro Press company owned a pair 
of steelyards capable of doing the desired 

work. They were secured and taken to the 
lake in the early morning hours of Saturday,

pounds over the designer's figures, showing 

her displacement to he greater than anticipated 
and therefore entitled to carry more cat 

than could have been allowed if Herreshoff's 
figures bad been accepted, 
Such is the history of the controversy that 

for a few days engaged public attention. It i 
written mainly to correct an impression that 
tin- Rochester Yacht Club, in some mystl 
way, was trying to take an unfair adv.n 
of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club in mani- 
festing no disposition to observe the ruli 
contest. It is written with the authorn 
the Rochester Yacht Club, but with no inten- 
tion of attempting to gloss over any apparent 
misdeeds of that organization. Every state- 
ment that appeared in public print, calculated 
to cast disfavor on the local club, was in- 
spired by individuals antagonistic to the 
.American side. Rochester Yacht Club offi- 
cials were close-mouthed, but Canadian- 
talked volubly. They talked not wisely hut 
too much. Several newspapermen grabbed at 
every morsel thrown them, and the result was 
misstatements daily from unreliable and un- 
authentic sources. Some of the newspapers, 
unable to verify rumors that had an ugly 
aspect, employed conservative methods in 
treating such news; others looking for a 
scoop, swallowed everything and the public 
got a fine mixture of fact and fancy. 
R. Y. C. Handicapped 

Simmered down to a thumb-nail summary, 
it is true that the Rochester Yacht Club was 
unable to produce plans of Seneca as called 
for in the conditions; the dub did not know. 
however, that Mr. Herreshoff would not give- 
up these plans until live days lit- fore the race. 
Two Canadian officials were informed of this 
fact as soon as they arrived Tuesday night. 
August 6th. It is not true that any member 
of the club knew at any time prior to August 
5th that Herreshoff would not produce plans. 
It is not true that the Rochester Yacht Club 
did not intend to live up to conditions from 
the moment they were signed. It is not true 
that any official of the dub knew of the ex- 
istence of a pair of steelyards in Rochester 
before Friday night, August 9th. that would 
weigh as heavy a boat as Seneca. It is not 
true that any official of the club or member 
of any committee attempted at any time to 
conceal Seneca's measurements. The whole 
affair was carried out with as much diplom- 
acy as possible and the Canadians only yielded 
in what they termed a spirit of courtesy, when 
they were confronted with a proposition from 
which there could he no hacking away, and 
a boat that met absolutely every requirement 
called for in the Canada's Cup agreement.

EVERY FRIDAY 



The Making of the Mayor 



For a moment the members of his family 
gazed in spellbound admiration at Colonel 
Anson, then with a general exclamation of 
unalloyed enthusiasm they gathered around 
and fairly bore him down into the big morris 
chair by the window. 

"You to be mayor of Sunnyville !" cried Miss 
Flora, the beauty of the family, tall as her 
father and handsomer than her mother. "Oh 
you dear daddy mine, ain't I proud of you!" 

"And we are proud of you too," cried the 
younger Misses Anson, pressing still closer 
about the colonel's chair. 

"And, girls, your mother is as proud as all 
of you put together!" beamed the colonel's 
wife. 

Harry Anson now seized his father's hand 
and rung it heartily. 

"Let me congratulate you, dad ! When 
you're in office I shall drop around occasion- 
ally and help you compose your off-hand 
speeches." 

Colonel Anson lifted his hands. "Quarters! 
quarters!" he cried. "I'm not elected yet! 
I'm not even nominated! My name has only 
been mentioned for the slate." He arose and 
stood amidst his family in white-haired, beam- 
ing protest. "My dear soldiers and fellow 
officers, there will be two nominations, and 
even though I should gain one of these nomina- 
tions, my election is far from a certainty. Act 
with confidence, I beg, but be prepared for 
defeat." 

"Why, daddy," cried Miss Flora, "that epi- 
gram alone should elect you !" 

"Indeed it should!" chorused the two 
younger Misses Anson, and the colonel's wife 
beamed another "indeed !" 

Settles the Matter Himself 
"Consider that I have already filed my appli- 
cation as your secretary," insinuated the bland 
Harry, whereupon his two younger sisters con- 
gratulated him upon his good fortune. 

"How nice it sounds!" exclaimed the 
younger of the younger Misses Anson. "Sec- 
retary to the mayor! You must have it en- 
graved on your cards, Harry." 
"I certainly shall, sis." 

"When do you begin to run for mayor?" 
questioned the colonel's wife. 

"Yes, daddy, when do you begin to run for 
mayor?" demanded the younger Misses An- 
son, placing a delicious emphasis on the mayor. 
"Why, as soon as I am safely slated," 
laughed the colonel. "But again, I beg that you 
do not place your hopes too high, to fall and 
be broken like poor Humpty Dumpty. Keep 
your heads level and cheer the band wagon 
along, and maybe one of these times I shall 
sit in the mayor's chair for a little season, and 
perhaps that will prove a stepping-stone to 
gubernatorial honors, who knows?" and the 
colonel placed himself behind the big morris 
chair to escape a second and even warmer ova-

tion, when his family had pictured him as gov- 
ernor of the state. 

The seed of political ambition once sown, 
it took fast root, and in a few days it had 
grown to a tree of such proportions that it 
quite overshadowed the entire household of 
Colonel Anson. 

"It means so much to your father," observed 
Mrs. Anson. "Perhaps it will end in him 
being elected governor of the state, as he him- 
self thought possible." 

"And when he steps down from the gover- 
nor's chair, what will prevent him running for 
the United States' senate!" suggested the dar- 
ing Miss Flora. 

DREAM OF THE WHITE HOUSE 

The two younger Misses Anson fairly hug- 
ged one another in rapturous delight at the 




DON MARK LEMON 

thought of their father moving on Washing- 
ton, and even the cautious Harry was carried 
a little farther towards the open sea of politi- 
cal schemes and dreams. 

"And once I am a United States' senator," 
cried Colonel Anson from the open doorway, 
"who knows but that a fierce, running fight 
might seat me in the chair of the President of 
the United States!" 

He entered the room, laughing, accompanied 
by a well set-up young fellow of eight-and- 
twenty, whose presence brought a sudden glow 
to the cheeks of the handsome Miss Flora, 
and an agreeable feeling of surprise to the 
others. 

"One of my staff," said the colonel, pre- 
senting the younger man. "I bought; liirn. 



along to let him see for himself how inter-1 
ested my family has become in my election." 

Young Thornton bowed in easy confidence, j 
"The colonel has consented that I may do a 
bit of electioneering for him. I believe I shall 
be of some service." 

"I am sure you will!" beamed the colonel's 
wife. 

"And we know it," smiled the younger 
Misses Anson. 

"You'll line up the second ward solid," nod- 
ded the knowing Harry. 

Only Miss Flora was silent, but an hour 
later, as young Thornton was taking his leave, 
her reserve fell away a delicious moment as 
she offered him her hand. 

"If daddy is elected," she said; then hesitat- 
ing, she pressed a hanging branch of bloom to 1 
her face. 

Thornton bent forward eagerly. "If he is,| 
what then, Miss Anson?" 

"If he is, why, then, perhaps— perhaps— " 

"Perhaps?" 

Fencing with Her Words 
The hanging bloom could no longer conceal 
the glow that had mounted to the cheeks of 
the colonel's daughter. She hastily withdrew 
her hand and stepped back. "Here comes 
Harry! I meant to say, if daddy is elected, 
perhaps Harry will get to be his secretary. 
Good afternoon, Mr. Thornton." 

The eager young fellow watched the mobile 
figure till it had turned into the house, taking 
a subtle fragrance with it, then he accosted 
Harry, who had just come up, and the pair 
went out through the garden gate. 

As election day approached, Colonel Anson 
was forecast to win the mayoralty by a slight 
majority, for the political map of Sunnyville 
was nicely shaded, and its lines distinctly 
drawn, and it was not hard to gain a clear 
idea of how things would be the day after 
election. But this happy state was suddenly 
threatened by an indiscreet act upon the part 
of the colonel himself. 

One evening at a club banquet he came out 
with the statement that he was personally op- 
posed to the renewal of the franchise of a cer- 
tain electric branch street-road. At the most 
it was merely a side issue, but the shrewd 
Thornton foresaw that as sentiment then stood 
the opposition could make the matter appear 
of sufficient importance as to win over a small 
but dangerous dissatisfied vote. 

He cautioned the Colonel to stop where he 
had begun, but the latter was in one of his 
positive moods, and when next day the oppo- 
sition's paper charged him with harboring 
sentiments against the renewal of the fran- 
chise, the old soldier threw down the gaunt- 
"I shall inform the public exactly how I 
stand in this matter!" he exclaimed to Thorn- 
ton. "And to make sure that it shall be fresh 
in their minds, I shall incorporate these senti-

foents into my speech of the night before elec 

Hbn!" 

Her Fears Are Aroused 

When llan-y came home that evening with 
a long face and reported the matter to Mi i 
Bora, she clasped her hands tensely. 

■•I feared it!" she exclaimed. "Daddy is so 
gelf-willed at times. Oh dear, if only he 
jirould listen to Mr. Thornton!" 

"What shall we do?" appealed the younger 
Misses Anson, in great alarm. "Cant you 
think of something, Harry?" 

That young fellow shook his head gloomily. 
-It will only make dad more haul hearted to 
reason with him. Better lay low, and perhaps 
he'll overlook it." But it was a hopeless face 
that he bent over his cup of coffee. 

"Did daddy say ho would not speak of this 
till the night before election?" suddenly de- 
manded Miss Flora. 
"That's what he told Thornton. Why?" 
"Oh. just because," replied the other indif- 
ferently, hut shortly afterwards she excused 
herself, and going to the phone called up 
Thornton and commanded him to come at 
once to the house. "Important business about 
my father." she condescended to explain. 

When a little later Thornton arrived at the 
Prison home in answer to the phone summons 
and was met at the gate by Miss Flora, that 
young fellow wore a rather clouded face; hut 
when a half hour afterwards he took his 
leave, it was with a light heart and a cheerful 
countenance. 

As he turned to go he hesitated a moment, 
as if he would speak of other matters than 
politics, hut there was something in the face 
„f the colonel's daughter that warned him to 
capture the enemy before speaking of the rich 
reward, and lifting his hat he hurried hack 
to headquarters. 

Eve of the Election 
The evening before election day arrived, and 
Colonel Anson was all prepared to proclaim 
himself against the renewal of the electric 
street car franchise. He had the notes of his 
speech in his pocket, written out by his son 
llarrv. who now saw his rosy dreams as sec- 
retary to the mayor fading into the thin, cold 
air of a rude awakening. 

Again Miss Flora protested, begging her 
lather 'not to hold such a little ten-cent issue 
so close before his dear nose that it blotted 
.1 matters as big as the moon.' Hut the col- 
onel only shook his head. 

• \ ery well, daddy." said Miss Flora, a dan- 
gerous firmness showing in her chin, "he sure 
you're right, ami then fill your dear old ears 
with cotton, and harken neither to men nor 
the angels!" and she smoothed her lather's 
wdiite hair fondly. 

Just then the hell rang and a message was 
left for Colonel Anson. Opening the envel- 
ope, he read. 

Colonel \n-ou: Come at once to my law 
Office. Will detain you only live minutes 
Important business. Don't fail me. 

Thornton. 

"What can he want at this hour?" reflected 
the colonel. "I'm due at the hall at half past. 
Well, come along. Harry; we'll dine by and 
see." 



Twenty minute-, later, accompanied hy Ins 
,,,!,,. Colonel Anson entered the handsome 

arched doorway of the Monix Building, a new 
down town structure where young Thornton 

had his law offices, and stepping into the wait 
ing elevator, the two men were shot upwards. 

When the car had reached an elevation be- 
tween the third and fourth floor, it came to a 
sudden stop. 

"Hallo!" impatiently cried the colonel, 
"what's wrong?" 

"Somethin' matter with the power, boss," ex- 
plained the grinning elevator hoy. "Jest don't 
git restless; she'll start up in a hit." 

At tiii; Critical Moment 

But the delay proved so considerable that 
Colonel Ansou drew out his watch. "I'm due 
at the hall now. Let the car down to the 
street and let us out. Thornton will have to 
wait." 

The elevator hoy attempted to do as he was 
told, hut it seemed that the carriage was out of 
fix on the fall as well as the lift, for it refused 
to move. 

"We're stuck, hoss, I reck'n." 

"Hallo there!" called Colonel Anson, as 
through the hars of the car he espied Thorn- 
ton descending the stairs from the fourth 

floor. 

"Hallo!" answered the young lawyer. 
"What's wrong with the elevator?" 

"The power has given out," explained Harry. 
"Why don't you let the car down to the 
landing?" demanded Thornton of the elevator 
hoy. 

"It won't go." 

"Then wait a moment, and I'll see what's 
wrong." Thornton hurried down the stair- 
way. 

Ten minutes passed, when the young lawyer 
returned accompanied by a mechanic in over- 
alls. 

"The shaft rod is broke and jammed," ex- 
plained the latter. "It will have to be sawed 
out." 

"How long will it take?" demanded the im- 
patient Colonel Anson. 

"Well, sir, likely three hours or so, for you 
see — " 

"The devil, man !" 

"Can't be helped, gentlemen. Sorry!" 
Thornton now took out his watch. "I'll 
have to report the accident at the hall, colonel ; 
you're overdue now." 

"Do so. By the way." called Colonel Anson. 
"what is the nature of that important business 
you wished to speak with me about?" 

But Thornton was already out of hearing, 
descending the steps three at a time. 

Time for Reflection 

"It would he of no use to give him my notes 
about that electric road franchise." reflected 
the colonel, "lie is opposed to my sentiments, 
and might lose them on purpose. Well. m> 
good man." this to the mechanic who was re- 
garding the elevator from the fourth flight 
with a super critical eye. "see how quickl] you 
can start the ear. It may not he as had as il 

first appears." 

"Pretty had. s,r; pretty had!" 
The man now descended the stairs, and Col 



oncl Anson Occupied the next half hour in the 
Stopped elevator in m« •dilating hi 1" I ' h. P( I 
hap . after all, he would he freed in lime tO 
di r it. 

Suddenly there was a hurry of feet on the 

stairway and Miss Mora and her two si 
appeared on the scene. 

"Why, daddy, this is dreadful !" cried the 
former. "I met Mr. Thornton and he said 
on were detained here, but I thought he 
was jesting." 

"Indeed we did!" chorused the younger 

\li es Anson. 
"The joke is on ns." growled Harry. 
"Does your mother know of this?" de- 
manded Colonel Alison. 

"No, daddy.— you poor, dear fellow!" Then- 
seemed to he actual tears iii Miss Flora's hand- 
some gray eyes. 

"Then go home like good girls, and tell her 
that Harry and 1 may he detained hy business 
over night, in case we an- not released before." 

"Yes, daddy,— you | r, dear fellow!" 

"Say. sis," called Harry, "couldn't you man 
age to drop me down a pillow and a few- 
cigars? 1 haven't slept a wink for two nights 
and I'm as hungry as a chimney for a smoke !" 
"Of course we can!" volunteered the younger 
Misses Anson, and they hurried off to return 
a little later with a box of cigars, a pillow, and 
a paper sack of fruit, all of which, after con- 
siderable labor, they got through the roof of 
the elevator car. 

Contemplating the Scene 
Miss Flora now seated herself on the stair- 
way and watched the scene with her deter- 
mined chin in her hands, while from below 
came the sawing of steel and the hammering 
of iron, as the mechanics labored to free the 
carriage. 

"Go home, daughter." commanded Colonel 
Anson, after an hour had passed and the car 
still remained jammed. 

"No, daddy." replied Miss Flora, firmly. "I 
shall stay right here till you and Harry are 
released. You poor. dear, patient fellows'" 

"And so shall we!" chorused the younger 
Misses Anson. 

"Very -*l-11." yielded the colonel. 
Two more hours passed and Harry and the 
.levator boy had fallen fast asleep, when young 
Thornton returned. 

"The meeting is over, colonel." he called 
from the third landing. "I thought lust not 
I,, say anything of your present predicament, 
hut stated that—" 

"Start the car up there!" shouted a voice 
from below, and aroused hy the colonel the 
colored lad let the newlj freed carriage to the 
street landing and threw open the door. 

Gathering up his pillow and remaining cigars 
the sleepy Harry followed the little party to 
tie waiting carriage, wondering as he went 
if his father's chances to le elected mayor on 
the morrow bad not been greatly augmented 
by his detention in tin elevator.

cheerful spirits on election .lay. which he spent

Introductions 

By KEITH GORDON 

Perhaps no point of etiquette requires more 
nicety of discrimination, a more delicate exer- 
cise of tact than this one of introductions; for 
definite as are many of the rules, there are also 
many important exceptions. There are intro- 
ductions ceremonious and unceremonious, pre- 
meditated and unpremeditated; but in no case 
should one err on the side of indiscriminate 
ones, as many thoughtless but good-natured 
persons often do. 

A lady should never introduce two of her 
own acquaintances who reside in the same 
small city or country town unless both have 
expressed such a wish. Such an introduction 
may for some reason be extremely unwelcome 
to one or the other and would place both in an 
embarrassing position. 

When two ladies are to be introduced the 
wishes of the one least known to the person 
making the introduction should be the first 
consulted. When a younger person is to be 
presented to an older, the wishes of the latter 
are to be the first consulted. A gentleman is 
not usually consulted before introducing him 
to a lady, for while gentlemen are generally 
particular enough as to the acquaintances they 
form with their own sex, it is generally under- 
stood that in society they seek rather than 
avoid the acquaintance of ladies, irrespective 
of the particular set in which they move. 
There is, however, an exception. In a ball- 
room where an introduction means that the 
gentleman is expected to dance with the lady 
to whom he is introduced, it is better to ascer- 
tain whether the introduction is desired; other- 
wise it would not fulfill its purpose and might 
prove for the lady a disappointment. 
Duty to the Hostess 
Men are very often entirely negligent of 
their social obligations in this way and ignore 
their duty to the hostess, which points so 
plainly to the importance of assisting her in 
keeping her guests provided with partners. 
No gentleman, unless some strong reason ex- 
ists, should refuse the offer of an introduction 
by his hostess nor shirk the duty it impsses 
A gentleman wishing to be introduced to a 
young lady should ask his hostess, or failing 
her the chaperone of the young lady, or an 
older married friend. Introductions in ball- 
rooms and indeed elsewhere should not be 
made between gentlemen and ladies by young 
companions. 

The wishes of a lady are always ascertained 
before a gentleman is presented to her; but 
here, too, we find an exception. At a dinner 
party the gentleman who is to take her in to 
dinner is introduced to her a few minutes be- 



fore dinner is announced without her previous 
consent, it being quite safe as a rule for any 
lady to leave herself in the hands of her host- 
ess. 
^ An unmarried lady is introduced to a mar- 
ried lady unless the former is very much older 
or is a person of individual distinction when 
the order is reversed. 

An introduction is made by mentioning the 
name of the person to be introduced first, as, 
"Mrs. A. Mrs. B."— or with some little infor- 
mality of speech as "Mrs. A. allow me to pre- 
sent Miss B." In introducing strangers from 
distant cities, or a person very shy and timid, 
something may be said to put them at ease, 
such as, "This is Mrs. A.'s first visit to Amer- 
ica" or "Miss B. has just come North." The 
introduction is acknowledged by a bow and the 
person to whom it is made should be the first 
to speak, doing so without hesitation and with 
a sufficient suggestion of friendliness to put 
the person presented entirely at ease. Noth- 
ing more quickly shows the fineness of breed- 
ing, the thorough acquaintance with the best 
of social life than the manner in which this is 
done. 

On Shaking Hands 
In many parts of this country it is the fash- 
ion to shake hands on being introduced, but 
this is more the practice of a less complicated 
order than that of society as at present or- 
ganized and the simple bow is better form. 

Of course in her own house a hostess should 
shake hands with any person introduced to 
her, as should the host also. 

All ceremonious and premeditated introduc- 
tions are made with the purpose of bringing 
two persons hitherto unknown to each other 
into direct acquaintanceship; but casual or un- 
ceremonious ones are made merely to dissipate 
any awkwardness or embarrassment and to 
place at their ease persons unknown to each 
other who are thrown together temporarily by 
social exigencies; and these introductions do 
not entail any necessity for further recogni- 
tion beyond the moment and form no basis 
for an acquaintance unless such is mutually 
desired. Such are the introductions made at 
garden parties, tennis, in the hunting field, and 
in such public places as an opera box or the 
promenade of a watering place. 

A young hostess is sometimes embarrassed, 
when two or more callers arrive simultane- 
ously who are unknown to each other, being 
uncertain whether she should or should not 
introduce them. Unless she knows of any 
reason to the contrary it is much better to in- 
troduce them, which may be done directly or 
indirectly. If. however, she knows that for 
some reason the introduction would be unwel- 
come, she must direct her conversation be 



tween them and as far as possible prevent it 
becoming too general. 

Teas and Receptions 
At afternoon teas and receptions a hostess 
does not introduce her guests to anyone except 
to her daughters or ladies receiving with her 
or to guests who are visiting at her house; but 
at dinner parties it is desirable that a hostess 
should make her guests known to each other 
and the care which is exercised in bringing 
congenial people in contact makes the differ- 
ence between the dinner recalled with a shud- 
der of ennui and the delightful remembrance 
of one permeated with social pleasure and 
charm. 

A gentleman or lady introduces two of his 
or her intimate friends usually without asking 
permission of either; a father or mother intro- 
duces son or daughter; husband his wife, or 
wife her husband without formality, and these 
introductions should be acknowledged with a 
little more than ordinary suggestion of cor- 
diality. 

In a new country like this where the rapid 
accumulation of wealth is continually bringing 
new people to the front, there must inevitably 
be those who are vulgar enough to "push" into 
every perceptible opening which they think 
may lead into the charmed circle of exclusive- 
ness. These will demand introductions right 
and left with no hesitation. But the 
well-bred hostess or woman of society will 
protect her guests and friends from undesir- 
able acquaintances and when she finds it nec- 
essary in order to avoid rudeness to make some 
of these introductions she will confine them to 
those who, secure in their own social positions, 
will be able by their tact and social prestige to 
keep the "vulgar rich" without the circle of 
the social elect. 

In moments of doubt, the young hostess may 
remember that if it is a question of hurting 
some one's feelings, of snubbing a too eager 
aspirant for social recognition, a simple intro- 
duction hurts no one, and the one who finds it 
undesirable if she has tact and breeding will 
be quite able to protect herself. 

In seeking introductions one need never be 
afraid of being considered pushing as long as 
one's self respect is fully sustained and when 
one brings to the social mart the ever accept- 
able gifts of good manners, good breeding and 
good will. 

The points on official introductions, as in 
Washington, will be considered under "official 
and diplomatic etiquette; also English, Conti- 
nental forms and usages." 



Make friends with your creditors if you can. 
but never make a creditor of your friend.

Practical Physical Culture 

KXAIT 
. or in other words 

. nplete, be- 

ba ed upon that surest of all foun- 
dations. Nature's laws. By assimilating the 
pies of the system and practicing the 
gymnastics we may make of ourselves just 
. • to be. 'I he work at- 

i.oth mind and body, training them in 
harmon ' !on equently it is philo- 
il. In this systet re are no 

methods, Set methods rob the individual of 
all spontaneity and make of him a mere 
machine. Physical culture does not (as many 
scent inclined to believe) teach its followers 
to walk, talk, sit, stand and bn certain 

way; but il does teach the fundamental prin- 
ciples underlying cornet methods of life, and 
emancipates them from the bondage of ignor- 
ance regarding themselves and opens their 
spiritual eyes. 

The student of practical physical culture 
learns to abhor everything vulgar and demor- 
alizing just as strongly as he learns to 
everything elevating, ennobling and refining. 
Practical physical culture means mental, moral 
and physical growth. It means freedom of 
muscle and control of nerves. It means vital- 
ity, activity and development of the entire 
being. 

The late William R. Alger, of Boston, de- 
scribed the system as "Something as high as 
the zenith, as deep as the nadir and as bound- 
less as eternity. Yet, something so simple that 
even a child may comprehend it." 

Through the deplorable ignorance of many- 
would-be exponents of the work it has been 
widely misrepresented, therefore, unjustly cen- 
-iirnl. There should he a law prohibiting 
unqualified persons from imposing upon the 
public. The main purpose of the work is not 
merely to develop either muscle or grace, but 
to stimulate the sluggish mind and to aggrand- 
ize the human family generally. 

Back of every gymnastic rests a why and a 
wherefore, a meaning bearing directly upon 
the law of cause and effect. 

It is not expected that all who undertake the 
work will master it; but all may be benefited 
in some degree. Even one hour spent in inves- 
tigation will help to overcome some pernicious 
habit acquired through ignorance of Nature's 
laws. When we live as God intended us to 
live, we will have no place in our hearts for 
envy, hatred or malice. We will have no time 
to indulge in petty gossip, gross spectacles or 
fits of anger, all of which tend to lower the 
individual both in his own estimation and the 
estimation of all with whom he comes in con- 
tact. The margins of time are two precious 
to be wasted in unseemly passions. "E'en as 
a man thinketh, so is he." 



Her Decided Views 

He — "Don't you sometimes loye to roam 
over hill and dale. Miss Pretty, with no par- 
ticular object in view?" 

She— "No, I detest golf."

hire of 1907 the enactment of a new charter drawn to fit the first 
class habiliments the city will don next January. 

When Rochester becomes a city of the first class, it cannot retro- 
grade, it must go forward. Swift as has been its progress during 
the last six years, from now on the pace will be faster. Rochester 
business men have no circumscribed goal, no limit to their ambition; 
their market is to be the known world. 

Their city to-day is the municipal garden of the world, and its 
people have the prettiest and most comfortable homes in the world. 
Its industries are housed in up-to-date and modemly equipped fac- 
tories. Its water supply is unsurpassed as to quality and quantity. 
Its streets are the cleanest in the state. Its park system is beautiful, 
comprehensive and easy of access. Thanks to the firm, but fair 
administration of Mayor Cutler, Rochester's street railway system, 
urban and suburban, is operated for the convenience and comfort of 
passengers fully as much as to declare dividends for the company's 
stockholders. 

During the next year Rochester will be the field for one or more 
of the big political conventions. In the remodeled Armory, the city 
will have an up-to-date convention hall, capable of accommodating a 
large gathering. Two new modern commodious hotels will rein- 
force the city's list of excellent hostelries, and these accessories, 
added to Rochester's natural advantages, will make her a formidable- 
bidder for the big gatherings of state and country. 



ROCHESTER, N. Y., SEPTEMBER 13, 1907 



Thankful for Appreciation 

We arc grateful for the many expressions of approval incident 
to the appearance of the initial number of Everv Friday. As soon 
as the scope of the magazine was fully appreciated, with the sale 
of the first copies from the press, messages of approval and of well 
wishes commenced to come in by telephone and otherwise, and the 
opinion was freely expressed that a new field had been occupied. 

The press of the city unanimously welcomed and praised the 
latest arrival in local journalism; herewith we express our cordial 
appreciation therefor. The Post Express added the courtesy of the 
following editorial expression: 

"Every Friday is welcome! There is a good field for a maga- 
zine of that sort in Rochester and we hope it will prosper." 

The demand for the new magazine was so great that the entire 
edition of 10.000 was practically exhausted on the day of issue and 
after 48 hours not a copy could be obtained. This fact led many to 
subscribe at once and thus make sure of the regular receipt of the 
magazine. 



Commercial Development 

"Greater Rochester" has been our slogan for several years, but 
from now on the campaign takes on an aspect of stern reality. 

Freed from the administrative shackles of the uniform charter 
for cities of the' second class, which compelled the assent of six 
other municipalities, three of them with not over half our population 
and three scarcely a quarter as large, to charter changes, Rochester 
will soon enter the rank of cities of the first class. A constitutional 
amendment, designed to permit Rochester to join New York and 
r.ttffalo, has passed the Legislature, and will be su' nutted to the peo- 
ple of the state next fall. Inasmuch as it affects only Rochester, it 
is sure to be adopted. Anticipating release from the second class 
trammels the Monroe County legislators secured from the Le«isla- 



Its Effect on America's Cup 

As a corollary deduced from the recent failure of Canada's cup 
challenger Adcle, to wrest the trophy from the Rochester Yacht 
Club, New York- yachtsmen feel convinced that the sorry showing 
made by the Toronto boat has had a tendency to check British aspir- 
ations in regard to the America's cup. Certain it is that a "painful 
silence" is the attitude assumed by the British amateur skippers and 
critics since August 13th, although a few irresponsible Canadian 
newspapers have vainly, and with considerable bad taste, sought to 
palliate the humiliating outcome of the three races which were 
sailed off Charlotte last month. That Seneca, the Herreshoff de- 
fender, defeated more than Payne when she defeated Adele seems 
quite evident. For Adele, during the trials off Toronto to select 
a challenger, beat the best creations of Fife and Mylne, even al- 
though Fife was on the scene during these contests, having crossed 
the Atlantic to do all he could to insure that his boat would, at 
least, carry the challenger's pennant to this side of the lake. 

Thus the triumph of the blind Rhode Islander over the pick 
of European draughtsmen is potent. As the performances of these 
small boats of British design, evolved under the uniform rule, paled 
before that of Seneca, so, it must be argued, would a large sloop 
from the boards of these designers go' down before an American 
defender of the historic "mug." The ever-obliging Lipton has prom- 
ised that he will decide shortly whether he will make another bid 
for fame and glory, and by the time this magazine is in the read- 
ers' bands his ultimatum may have been issued, though there is no 
concealing the fact that yachtsmen on both sides of the Atlantic 
would have preferred that another than the "grocer-knight," whose 
commercialism has hitherto played so prominent a part in his con- 
nection with the America's cup races, would have come forward 
as a contender over the Sandy Hook course. The chief interest 
in the decision of Sir Thomas, if affirmative, will be to learn the name 
of the designer who has bad the temerity to undertake the work 
of forming the lines of the new challenger.

Will Fill a Field 

"Rochester's Own Magazine" is the inscription on the escutcheon 

of the new weekly, Fvi-.m Friday, which is to be launched this 
morning. Rochester has never had a distinctly "home" periodical 
of the character of this, which will till a held if the publication is 
kept up to the standard set by the advance copy which came from 
the press yesterday. 

While topics of national and even universal interest are dis- 
cussed in the pages of EVERY FRIDAY, the real raison d'etre of the 
magazine is never lost sight of. Rochester and its manifold excel- 
lences are exploited and in such a readable way that one forgets 
that the new venture is a daring experiment and wonders why 
somebody didn't think of starting such a paper long ago. 

The initial copy of EVERY FRIDAY is almost exclusively devoted 
to local activities. A page is devoted to "Commercial Rochester," 
and special reference is made to the work of the Chamber of Com- 
merce and the West Side Improvement Association. 

Motoring, tennis and the myriad forms of sport in which the 
Rochester public is interested, are treated. Willard A. Marakle 
writes entertainingly oi the political situation and speculates about 
prospective candidates for the mayoralty. 

The local financial situation is not forgotten in the melange of 
description, and music and the drama, in so far as the Rochester 
situation is concerned, are given plenty of space. 

Presswork is a strong point with the new magazine and the 

advertising is not too obtrusive. Illustrations are scattered through 



the thirty-odd pages without the suggestion of space-filling which 

is apparent in man) of the cheaper weekly magazines, 

Every Friday is published at Room No, .12X Sibley building. — 
Democrat anil Chrou 

Bright as to Contents 

There is much of interest to residents of Rochester in the 

initial issue of EVERY FniliAV, a weekly publication which makes it, 
appearance to-day, attractive in appearance and 1. right as to content 

Every Friday is published by Rochester men, and, although 

their basic idea is to make it a magazine especially for Rochester, 
the first copy contains discussion on topic-, of national and even 
world interest. 

A page devoted to "Commercial Rochester." contains reference 
to the growth of the city, to the Chamber of Commerce and to the 
development of the West Side. Music and musical events of local 
savor are presented in a bright way and there are several pages de- 
voted to motoring, recreation, boating, tennis, golf and football; all 
cleverly hut concisely treated. 

"The Coming Municipal Election" and political notes are sum- 
marized by a well known political writer, and current news of so- 
ciety is given generous space. There is an editorial section in which 
the beauties and advancement of Rochester are emphasized. 

Finance, fashions and the theater are accorded due considera- 
tion, and literature is not forgotten, even to the incorporation of a 
short story by a well known author. 

Illustrations add to the general attractiveness of EVERY FRIDAY 
and the advertisements are not made to encroach to the exclusion 
of reading matter. — The Post Express. 

Fully Up to Expectations 

It was with considerable interest that the public this morning 
obtained their first copies of Every Friday, "an illustrated weekly 
devoted to interests of Rochester and Western New York," which 
made its initial appearance to-day. Judging by the favorable com- 
ment, it is only necessary to maintain the standard of the first num- 
ber in order to make the new venture a success, for the magazine 
occupies a field that has never been satisfactorily filled heretofore as 
far as Rochester is concerned. 

While the publication is primarily a local affair, the scope of 
its contents is universal, and in the twenty pdd pages of the first issue 
a wide range of topics are attractively presented. Fiction, com- 
merce, music, sports of all kinds, recreation, politics, society, finance, 
fashions, the stage and editorial comment are all contained in the 
new magazine, while line half-tone cuts appear on nearly every 
page, adding greatly to the appearance and interest. 

EVERY FRIDAY has been awaited with much interest by Koch- 
esterians. and now that it has appeared it has come fully up to 
expectations and gives promise of becoming another institution of 
which Rochester may well be nroud. — Union and Advertiser. 

Promises Increasing Success 

EVERY FRIDAY, Rochester's new magazine, to-day makes it- 
first appearance. If the first number is to be taken as a criterion 
of the standard to be maintained by the new magazine it will de- 
serve, and undoubtedly meet with, not only immediate, but per- 
manent and growing success. Every Friday is prettily gotten up. 
printed on handsome paper tastefully illustrated and full of inter- 
esting reading matter fhe magazine is described as, "an illustrated 
weekly devoted to interest of Rochester and Western Xew York." 
It certainly is that, but it is more, as it is a magazine which is full 
of interest and which will hold the attention of readers, aside from 
its claims to local recognition. 

One of the feature, of the new magazine which will make for 
its deserved success is the large number of points of interest, of in- 
teresting features which is possesses Its various departments are

EVERY FRIDAY 



FINANCE 




I Wall Street Bureau 
-J of Every Friday 
I. September 12, 1907 



In spite of its reactionary tendency, this 
week's stock market has reflected no little in- 
vestment buying, with some enlargement of 
speculative trading. The decidedly easier 
monetary conditions, with the more favorable 
trend of foreign exchange, has convinced 
many shrewd buyers that the market has 
turned the corner and is now at a safe level 
for investment purchases. Some very rich 
men have been buying, and the "strong box 
contingent of millionaires that generally acts 
with great discrimination, has picked up the 
high grade dividend paying shares on every 
recession. In this way the support of the 
"odd lot" buyer has been a decided factor, 
and since his orders for ten, twenty or hfty 
shares have aggregated a considerable volume, 
the floating supply of stocks has been materi- 
ally reduced. 

Bears Alert 
These odd lot orders have been distributed 
mainly in Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, 
United States Steel preferred, Pennsylvania, 
and what are known as the Hill shares. 
Against this support there has been some 
fresh short selling on the unsettling reports 
affecting the solvency of some mercantile in- 
terests and one large drygoods house. The 
bears have been quick to knock the market at 
any weak point, and because of its unsettled 
condition and the difficulty of effectively con- 
tradicting disquieting rumors the trading pub- 
lic has sometimes been frightened into selling 
stocks when there was really no need for such 
sacrifices. While sentiment is undeniably 
better the improvement has not reached the 
proportions of a bull market and it may be 
doubted whether the great banking interests 
of Wall street that are always influential m 
stock market operations favor a prolonged 
advance at this time. 

The situation has been immensely benefited 
by the broad inquiry for the new issue of New 
York city W 2 per cent, bonds and the indica- 
tions that foreign buyers may ultimately re- 
ceive a good portion of the $40,000,000 issue 
brought out this week. Every bond sold by 
us in Europe increases our chances of getting 
gold on the other side. Then, too, the 
Treasury's effort to place a large amount of 
government deposits with the banks of the 
great distributing centers has done much to 
allay the fears of borrowers lest the supplies 
of loanable funds should prove so inadequate 
as to force a violent advance in money rates. 

Situation Stronger 
There can be no doubt, however, that the 
market is selling at bargain level for many 



income producing securities. There may he 
further recessions, with erratic fluctuations in 
a few highly speculative shares, but in the 
judgment of very competent men bottom 
prices for most of the list have been reached. 
There are still some weak accounts to be 
sold out, and the misfortunes of a few rich 
men were again brought to the attention of 
prominent bankers this week in the effort 
to secure loans on collateral which was not 
readily marketable. The same applications 
were made during the Rich Men's Panic of 
1903. and while the situation is immensely 
stronger to-day than it was then, there has 
been no little millionaire selling of the stocks 
that were "ballooned" so successfully during 
the remarkable rise following the increase 
in the Harriman dividends a year ago. In 
the judgment of many shrewd Wall Street 
operators the worst of this liquidation is over 
and most of the large speculative accounts 
weakened by the March decline have been 
strengthened to a point where there is now 
no danger of forced selling at tremendous 
sacrifices. 



Legal steps are now being taken to straight- 
en out the telephone situation. Action has 
been brought by two members of the Bond- 
holders' Protective Association against cer- 
tain directors of the United States Independ- 
ent Telephone company in an effort to re- 
cover losses due to the depreciation in the 
price of the bonds of the company. A hear- 
in" was held before the referee yesterday. 



Curlers Will Miss Him 

Players of the "roarin " game in the United 
States and Canada have lost an enthusiastic 
comrade by the death at Hamilton, Ont, re- 
cently of James Simpson at the age of seventy- 
five years. Few men had a more enviable rec- 
ord for skill at the manly game on the ice and 
his general nature gained him hosts of friends 
at every bonspiel in which he took part, cov- 
ering a period of over half a century. 



Local Stock 

The local monetary and business situation 
continues to be unaffected by the unfavorable 
conditions which have prevailed in the secur- 
ity market, and there seems to be no reason 
why the fall trade shall not be fully equal m 
volume to the most sanguine expectations. 
While money cannot be called, plentiful, in 
the sense that it is superabundant, there ap- 
pear to be supplies ample for present require- 
ments. Bankers say regular customers have 
no trouble in securing accommodations. The 
comparatively easy conditions now prevailing 
at the metropolitan and at the principal West- 
ern money centers are indirectly due to the 
depositing of funds by the secretary of the 
treasury. 

In the Rochester Stock Exchange a general 
improvement has taken place in security 
prices. In sympathy with the rally in the 
New York market securities have moved up- 
wards as the selling pressure has been re- 
moved. The recovery so far in most securities 
from the recent low level has been small, and 
it is generally remarked that many of them 
are selling below their intrinsic value. 

Brokers say there is a difference of opinion 
as to the probable course of stocks. While 
the worst in the respect to liquidation is be- 
lieved to be over, the market may he exposed 
to further flurries. Nevertheless, it is gener- 
ally acknowledged that the market is right- 
ing itself, and local industrial conditions con- 
tinue inherently sound.

Music Notes 

Scandinavia has met with a great national 
loss in the death of Edward Grieg which oc- 
curred September 4th. Grieg was distinctly 
a Scandinavian composer, but his works have 
found appreciation throughout the world. His 
principal compositions are songs and piano- 
forte pieces; also orchestral and chamber 
music, the best known of which are two son- 
atas for violin and piano, opus 8 and 13. 
Piano sonata— opus 7; some charming lyric 
pieces for piano; a piano concerto— opus 16; 
and the "Peer Gynt" suite. He was to have 
visited England in October to conduct some 
of his works at the Leeds Festival. The num- 
bers chosen for the occasion being the first 
"Peer Gynt" suite, the piano concerto and his 
unfinished dramatic work "Olaf Trygvason." 

Karl Klein, son of Bruno Oscar Klein, the 
well-known composer, is a new violinist who 
will appear on the American concert stage this 
season. He will play in the New York Sym- 
phony Orchestra concerts. He brings from 
Europe the highest praise of critics of Leipsic. 
Vienna and London, and his appearance in our 
country is deserving a hearty welcome. 

Cazouran is the name of a new tenor to be 
heard at Hammerstein's opera house this sea- 
son. 

A new "Life of Liszt" is being prepared by 
A. W. Gottschlag the 80-year-old court organist 
of Weimar. 

Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress" has been re- 
cently arranged as a stage play, by an English 
society. The music consists of psalm tunes. 

The McDowell fund has now reached $50,000 
and the aim is to double that sum, by the de- 
voted admirers of this worthy American com- 
poser who has been stricken so early in life. 



EVERY FRIDAY 



COMMENT AND CONGRATULATION 
mtinufd from Pagi 

well selected; the subjects are well handled. 

rhe first number opens with an article of 
especial interest to Rochesterians on "Where 

Douglas Studied Law." by Frank \. U 1. 

long a valued member of the staff <>f The 
Evening Times and now one of the editors 
of Rochester's new magazine. Rochester has 
had few more eminent citizens than Stephen 

A. Douglas and in tin's article Mr W 1 

describes in a vivid and interesting manner 
of the early experiences of Douglas 
when he was beginning his career. The 
article is not a long one. but it j s written in 
Mr. Wood's characteristic style and holds the 
attention of the reader from start t< > finish. 

Various 1 )epartments 
Another feature of Every Friday that will 
make a hit with Rochester readers is its vari- 
ous departments, each on souk- subject of 
more than ordinary interest. First comes 
"Commercial Rochester," in which the pres- 
ent and future development of this city are 
Well presented. The next department, ".Music. 

by M. Ursula Rogerson, is of interest not only 
to local musicians, but to music lovers gen- 
erally. The department on "Motoring" is 
under the supervision of Bert Van Tuyle, 
Secretary of the Rochester Automobile Club' 
and will hold the attention of Rochester's 
big and rapidly growing class of automobile 
enthusiasts. After a general article on "The 
Progress of Automobiling," these features are 
discussed in the department— "If Your .Motor 
.Mis-fires." "The Good Roads Question." "Un- 
necessary Wear of Tires" and "Posting Road 
Signs." The article is illustrated bj a num- 
ber of pictures which will make hits with 
motorists. 



Sport and Fiction 
In the "Recreation" department, sports of 
all sorts are interestingly touched upon. Ten- 
nis has tremendously increased in popularity 
within the past two or three years, not only 
throughout the country, hut especially in Roch- 
ester and Western New York. Accompany- 
ing the article is a lot ,,f interesting informa- 
tion about tin- Rochester Tennis Club and its 
players, and illustrations of the Tennis Club 
grounds and F. K. Ward, Rochester's fast- 
est player. The illustration of the Tennis 
Club is especially clear and distinct Other 
subjects treated under the general head of 
"Recreation" in the initial number of Every 
Friday are Football, Coif and Rowing. 

Everybody wants good fiction in a magazine 
nowadays anil Every Friday has set its own 

standard m this respect. The leading fiction 
article is an amusing short storj bj Charles 

Battell Loomis, a well known short-story 

writer, on "My Friend Lacy." 

A Most INTERESTING ARTICLE 

Rochester always takes its politics seriously 
and just at present, with a municipal election 
coming on. the interest is more than usually 
intense. To EVERY FRIDAY Willar.l V Mar- 
akle has contributed a most interesting article 
on "I'he Coming Municipal Election." Prob- 



ably no one i, better informed on local politi 
cal conditions than Mr. Marakle, or knows 
how t.i pm liis information into more- readable 
form, His article throws new light on the 
political sanations. State and national politi, 
are also interestinglj touched up..,, 
Keith ( ,. n. ion contributes an inti 

article on Society, in which social top 
general and Rochester SOciet) event. ;,,,.! 
people ill particular are discussed. 

I he editorials in Rochester's new magazine 
are not long, But they are up i.. date, inter- 
esting and right to the point. |„ the 
torials, as well as in the rest of the mag 
the policy of treating subjects of both loi 
and general interest is carried out. Lin.., 
the fashions, the Stage, and Literature are 
all treated in a way to hold the attention of 
the reader. 

Well Received 

The new magazine has already been well re- 
ceived. It is a magazine of which Rochester 
may well he proud, and it is safe to predict 
that its success will not only be immediate. 
hut permanent. It is evidently the intention 
of the publishers not to be sparing of expeti 
but excellent taste and judgment have also 
been displayed. The reception given the in- 
itial number by both advertisers and sub- 
scribers was all that could be desired. It is 
safe to say the reception accorded successive 
numbers will be increasingly cordial. Roch- 
ester has long needed such a magazine and 
there is little question that the general public 
is prepared to give Every Friday loyal sup- 
port.

Friday is a very interesting publication ami 
should succeed."

Varsity Outlook 

As the personnel ..f the entering class at 
the University of Rochester becomes more 
definitely known. 'Varsity prospects on the 
gridiron begin to brighten. While last vcar's 
squad I.. si only three men by graduation, they 
were men whose shoes it will be no simple task 
to fill— Captain Stecre, fullback; former Cap- 
tain Sullivan, quarterback, and Goldstein, half- 
hack. Present indications are that there will 
I"- a number of candidates, however, who will 
he eager to take up the burden. 
From Medford High school, Medford, 
- will erne Saulsman and Prav. two 
stars of the team which established an envi- 
able "prep" school record on Eastern gridirons 
'••'st fall. "Eddie" Zimmer, formerly captain 
and aggressive end of the local 'Varsity, 
coached that aggregation to victory, and was 
no doubt instrumental in obtaining his two 
-'us I',.,- his alma mater. 

Captain W. R. Dunn, of the Starkey Semin- 
ary eleven, who played most of the game for 
his team against the local high schools last 
tall, is also registered and should make a 
S bid for a hack-field position, as should 
Vale Parce, the whirlwind halfback of the 
lairport High school. I„ addition to these 
experienced men. there are said to be one or 

two stock} nun. of considerable avoirdup 

"i the class, who. although comparatively new 
to the game, are anxious to play and may be 
->d into service in the line, 
i >f last year's regular squad, the following 
are expected again to don the moleskins for 
the Yellow: Captain Jordan, tackle: Maecher- 
lein. and S. I). Smith, guards: Pierce, center: 
Roberts and Conner, ends. ,-,„,| Fowle and 
Grant in the back-field. Grant gave great 
promise at quarterback during Sullivan's ab- 
sence last fall, and should fill in handily at 
th<- driver's position.

EVERY FRIDAY 



*^STAGE| 

A 



rO.&i 



Week of September 16th. 

Lyceum Theater — First half of week, George 
M. Colian's comedy with music, "George 
Washington, Jr." Thursday and Friday, 
Sarah Truax in "The Spider's Weh." 
Saturday, Marie Cahill in "Marrying 
M ary." 

Baker Theater — Opening week of Klaw & 
Erlanger's Advanced Vaudeville, present- 
ing "Stars of all Nations." 

National Theater — First half of week, Wil- 
liams and Walker. Last half of week, 
"Texas." 

Cook Opera House — Hilda Spong, Amelia 
Summerville, James Thornton, The Zanet- 
tos, Daily and Austin, Iossi, Rossi and 
Pauli, Kennedy and Rooney, Geiger and 
Walters. 



What promises to he the greatest season 
in the history of the local stage, will be in 
full swing next week. By that time with the 
opening of the Baker Theater Monday night, 
all the theaters will be running, and judging 
by the business so far, and the general condi- 
tions of prosperity in the city, success of gen- 
erous proportions would seem to be assured 
to those engaged in catering to the wants of 
the patrons of the theater. A much better 
line of bookings than the ordinary has been 
presented at the Lyceum so far, and more 
than the usual number of good things are 
promised. The competition between the Cook 
Opera House, presenting Keith & Proctor 
bookings, and the Baker Theater, offering 
Klaw & Erlanger's Advanced Vaudeville, is 
bound to keep up a high standard of attrac- 
tions at these places. 

Business at the Lyceum since the opening 
has been large, and the Cook has been play- 
ing to its usual capacity business since its 
opening on Labor Day. There are many 
reasons why this should continue. According 
to the best figures and estimates obtainable 
there are 5,000 more persons in the city this 
year than there were last, as the city has been 
growing at that rate for the last two or three 
years. New suburban trolley lines and 1 letter 
transportation facilities have added thousands 
"f others, and the number of transient visitors 
to the city is larger than ever before and con- 
stantly growing. All these persons want high 
class entertainment, and naturally add to the 
theatergoing population of the city. The 
larger the attendance at the theaters the better 
the attractions offered. Preparations are be- 
ing made for a great first night at the Baker 
Theater next Monday, when prominent men 
interested in the Advanced Vaudeville move- 
ment will be present. 



This Week's Bills 

"The Alaskan," a new idea in musical 
shows, with the scene laid in the frozen 
North instead of the Orient, as has been the 
case with most musical shows ever since they 
first came into existence, came to the Lyceum 
Monday nisht for a stay of three days. This 
is one of the first new productions of the sea- 
son to be shown here with a -New York run 
to its credit. It closed at the Knickerbocker 
Theater on Saturday night and made this 




BLANCHE RING 
Under Shuberl Management in "The Great White Way" 

city the first stop on its way Westward. "The 
Alaskan" is different in several ways — its com- 
poser plays the leading role, it introduces 
sentiment and dramatic action to a musical 
play, and is the first effort of its sponsors. 
As a novelty and as a good show it pleases. 

Nat M. Wills, sometime vaudeville favorite 
and everlasting portrayer of vagrant Ameri- 
can character, appeared at the National in his 
new play "A Lucky Dog," and won his usual 
enthusiastic reception. 



In Vaudeville Circles 

There is a scarcity of actors ! A declara- 
tion of so startling a nature will surprise the 
most enthusiastic student of the drama, and 
were it not for the fact that the information 
has been volunteered by several New York 
managers, there would be just grounds for 
skepticism. But there are valid reasons that 
suggest the existence of such a condition, in 
a mild form at least. 

The development of the vaudeville idea 
leads to the conclusion that this style of en- 
tertainment has caused more or less desertion 
from the dramatic ranks, and while not suffi- 
cient in itself to warrant any great alarm, it is 
one of several conditions that have combined 
to stimulate anxiety among eastern theatrical 
agencies. Those who have read the season's 
announcements need not be reminded that 
vaudeville managers have more good material 
at hand than can be found in the field of 
drama ; and according to some of the salary 
figures that have been quoted it is not at all 
surprising to note the names of Grace Van 
Studdiford, Aubrey Boucicault and Henry E. 
Dixey among the headliners. 

The strife occasioned by the entrance of 
Klaw & Erlanger into the vaudeville circle 
probably has a great deal to do with the rise 
in values; but it is a significant fact that the 
popularity of the vaudeville show is steadily 
increasing, and people who care little or noth- 
ing for the serious drama seek diversion in a 
theater that presents a varied programme of 
specialties. 

The personnel as announced for the season 
includes a number of well-known people. A 
few of those who are familiar to the vaude- 
ville stage have been engaged for dramatic 
and musical plays, but they constitute a small 
minority. Others in the group are what might 
be termed periodical players, and their appear- 
ance is not assured for any length of time. 
But the majority seem to have made rather 
elaborate preparations ; and there is a notice- 
able increase in the number of acts that re- 
quire special scenic embellishment and larger 
companies than has been the rule in the past. 

Taking all the facts into consideration, the 
vaudeville season promises much more in its 
particular field than the dramatic, and even 
a brief list of those who are numbered in the 
assemblage indicates that there will be plenty 
of variety and talent. 

Blanche Ring and Truly Shattuck are 
among the vaudeville deserters, the former 
having 1 een engaged for a new musical pro- 
duction in which Jefferson De Angelis will 
share the stellar honors. 

The new features include Aubrey Bouci- 
cault in a sketch, " She Loves Me, She Loves 



EVERY FRIDAY 



Me Not;" Joseph C Miron, last season with 
De Angel is, in a burlesque on " Camille," 
written by George V. Hobarl ami Victor Her- 
bert; Margaret Fealy and Harrison Hunter, 
in a dramatic skit. Franklin Ritchie and Rose 
Coghlan will present "The Higher Life;" 
Templar Saxe, the baritone, will appear in a 

musical turn called " Sixty-seven \ arieties," 

and Charlotte Lambert, who supported Louis 

I. uiie, last season, has joined Valerie Bergere. 
The operatic contingent is particularly strong 
with Grace Van Studdiford, Delia 1'ox, Eva 
Tanguay, Mae Sailor, Katie Barry, Harry 
Bulger, Julius Steger and Arthur I >unn. 

A number of conflicting reports have been 
circulated regarding the plans of several shin- 
ing lights. Henry E, Dixey is said to have 
engaged Amelia Sunnncrville to support him 
in a vaudeville version of "Adonis;" Trixie 
Friganza is supposed to be considering the vau- 
deville proposition; and Marry Kelly, who lias 
been featured in "His Honor, The Mayor," 
may appear in a sketch based upon his work 



In that comedy. Jessie I'.onstelle, favorably 

known in Rochester, has entered upon ii 
Klaw & Erlanger circuit, and it is a sal. .

Was Popular in Paris 

Instances are mam where persons have di 
covered Some talent they possess purely In 

accident. This is hue of Ida Fuller, sister 
of l.oie Fuller, an American girl by birth and 
yet one of the European stars brought here 
for the first American season of Advanced 
Vaudeville. 

It was through the medium of a photograph 
thai Miss Fuller discovered how really clever 
she could he if she desired in impersonating 
others. Two years ago she was being featured 

among a number of celebrated artists at the 
Marigny-Revue in Paris. It was at just about 
this time that Madame Sarah Bernhardt was 

at the zenith of her success in the play "The 





MARY BOLAND 

Sorceress." Miss Fuller being known on the 
stage as "La Sorciere," it was natural that 
her name should he associated with that of 
Madame Bernhardt. But it was not until friends 
recognized in a photograph of Miss Fuller 
in costume an almost exact replica of Madame 
Bernhardt in the role of the Sorceress, that 
the knowledge came to her. The resemblance 
soon came to he talked about in Paris ami 
Madame Bernhardt herself at one time went 
to see her stage "double," and it is said her- 
self remarked upon the likeness. Miss Fuller 
was wdiat might he termed the piece de resist- 
ance at the Marigny-Revue for live months. 
The act with which she created a furore 
there is the one in which she will appear on 
the opening hill of Advanced Vaudeville at 

the Baker Theater next week. 



IDA FULLER, SISTER OF LOIE FULLER 
Coming to the Baker Theater io her Parisian Success 



Miss Boland's Experience 

If critical opinion is to he relied upon. Miss 
Man Boland, who journeyed from London to 

assist Dunstin Farnum in "The Rangers," is 
making the best of a colorless part. Mr. 
I'rohman. it seems, conceived the idea that 
his new star should have a play something 
akin to "The Virginian." Evidently it mat 
tered little whether Augustus Thomas had the 
material and inspiration at hand. A certain 
kind of play was wanted and. in the vernacular 
of the present day, it was up to Mr. Thomas 
to turn it out. And he did. 

It chanced that Fate happened to take a 
hand in the proceeding and Miss Boland was 
called upon to create the feminine role of 
Dorothy Osgood. All went well until the op- 
ening night, or. to he more exact, the follow- 
ing morning. Then the trouble began. The 
industrious critics, who revel in thl 
openings, found plenty to busy their caustic 
pens. Some were kindly disposed hut their 
friendliness seemed a trifle strained. And 
Miss Boland, who is credited with being a 
ictress, is suffering the humiliation of a 
two-line press notice.

EVERY FRIDAY 



Hermit of Hemlock La%e 



In a tiny, low down board cabin, some ten 
by sixteen feet, made of undressed hemlock 
boards, with a floor of the same material, a 
roof of paper interspersed with pieces of old 
tin and steel, with two small windows to admit 
the light, some six miles from Spring-water 
and five miles from the village of Hemlock, 
may be found Prinny Chesbro, the Hermit of 
Hemlock Lake. His home could not be in a 



and conies of Scotch parentage. With the ex- 
ception of an impaired hearing the hand of 
time has dealt gently with him. For many 
years the Hermit was a sailor and is the only 
man for miles around who can perfectly splice 
a rope. His home has been about Hemlock 
Lake for many years, in fact be was among 
the first to locate in this region and is its last 
living landmark. Chesbro is more than 100

more lonesome or picturesque place, about 
fifteen rods from the lake and a short distance 
from the highway. 

None but a close observer would note the 
cabin among the trees and underbrush on the 
south side of a deep ravine, midway between 
Bert Miller's Mineral Springs hotel and the 
old Half Way House, two resorts that years 
ago were famous the state over. Since the City 
of Rochester purchased the land around Hem- 
lock Lake the fame of these places has waned. 

Prinny Chesbro was born in Erie County 



years of age and attributes his longevity to 
his simple diet of fish, eggs and bread. 

The aged man seldom ventures far from 
home and for long periods he does not see a 
person. He is still hale and vigorous and an 
expert oarsman. He employs his time mak- 
ing Scotch gdl nets. In the course of a year 
he makes a fairly good living by this means. 
He gives a hearty welcome to a caller and 
fishermen annually hunt him out, seldom leav- 
ing without a goodly catch, if they follow his 
advice. 



self delighted with the arrangements and other 
experts have formed the same opinion. 
In Reasonable Limits 

The course is laid out for par 73, 37 out and 
36 home, and the entire round covers 5,838 
yards, by no means an excessive length and 
some 200 yards shorter than the Oak Hill 18 
hole round. 

Players may become subscribers by the day, 
month or year, the rates for men being as 
follows: Annual, $35; six months, $25; 
monthly, $10; weekly, $5, and daily $1. Re- 
ductions are made for women. A commodious 
club house has been built near the first tee and 
no private club offers better entertainment 
or better links. 

Travers' Great Feat 

Jerome Travers, the amateur champion, 
made a phenomenal score on the Montclair 
links last week. After handing in the best 
gross score of 75 in a handicap, Travers set 
out again. Bogie is 40 out and 37 in, but 
Travers was in superb form and after a 39 to 
the turn he came home in 31. Even this 
would have been less by one had he not been 
caught in the bunker on his drive from the 
seventeenth tee. 

Findlay Douglas, the St. Andrews veteran, 
is still to the fore. In a thirty-six hole medal 
play handicap at Apawamis, he won despite 
the fact that he was penalized at plus three. 
His gross card was 71. In a driving contest 
on the same links he sent his second ball 226 
yards and would easily have won had he not 
sent his third out of bounds. 



Women's Tennis 

In the opening lawn tennis tournament at 
the Nyack Country Club last week, Miss Bes- 
sie Moore, the four times national champion 
and present indoor champion, had one of the 
hardest battles of her career on the courts 
before she was able to defeat Miss Marie 
Wagner, the young Hamilton Grange expert, 
who was runner-up to her last year on the 
boards. It took no less than thirty-four 
games to decide the contest in favor of Miss 
Moore, although she won in straight sets, 11-9 
and 8-6. 

The pair fought each other nip and tuck, 
each finding her opponent practically in- 
vincible on the service, and it was only Miss 
Moore's superior stamina and experience that 
enabled her to pull out triumphant. Old time 
tennis players characterized it as a most re- 
markable game and without parallel in wom- 
en's competitions for high-class play drawn 
out over such a long period. 



GOLF 

Something New In Links 

With the opening of the Salisbury links at 
Garden City, L. I., American golfers have the 
use of the first public course to be planned and 
completed since the spread of the natural haz- 
ard as the true test of the game. The revolt 
against the 'cross-course bunker and kop haz- 
ard has brought about the remodeling of sev- 
eral links, but at the Salisbury course the ob- 
ject from the start has been to provide holes 
that an expert can play in par, yet one that will 
also please and encourage the player who feels 
proud of a card of 100. 

Links of this character are prosperous in 
Great Britain and Devereux Emmet, who 
planned and laid out the Salisbury links, has 
made the best use of his European experience, 
with the result that the veteran Walter J. 
Travis, who drove the first ball and subse- 
quently turned in a card of 75, declared him- 



Notes 



The exhibition matches between the golf 
professionals Gilbert Nichols and Percy Bar- 
rett which were announced for to-day and to- 
morrow have been cancelled owing to Lamb- 
ton "professor's" somewhat unexpected entry 
into the field of matrimony this week. How- 
ever, definite arrangements have since been 
made for Nichols to meet Alex. Ross, the 
open champion of the U. S. A., next Friday 
and Saturday on the Oak Hill and Genesee 
Club's links respectively. 

A large contingent of the Park Club of 
Buffalo will visit Oak Hill to-morrow, when 
some twenty, golfers from the Bison city will 
be paired with local players for an inter-club 
contest. They will tee off at 2 :30 p. m. 



A Rochester Professional 

Harold McDonald is the first Rochester boy 
to adopt golf as a profession with success. 
For some time past he has been employed on 
the Genesee Club's links, but has just received 
a more lucrative appointment in Boston, 
where he will be associated with Robert 
Stronnar, who first taught him the elements 
of the game.

( hie of the most important dramatic pro-

& Erlanger at the Lyceum theater in this city 
on September 23d, when Henry Arthur Jones' 
new play. "The Galilean's Victory," will he 
presented with Howard Kyle in the role of 
Sylvanus Rebbings, a revivalist. Mr. Kyle has 
been spending some time in London rehears- 
ing the part under the personal direction of 
Mr. Jones. 

If London critics are any criterion, Roch- 
ester is assured of a musical treat on Septem- 
ber 27th and 28th. Henry W. Savage an- 
nounces that the eagerly anticipated produc- 
tion of the Franz Lehar operatic gem, "The 
Merry Widow." will be made in Syracuse 
on September 23d; and four days later it will 
visit the Lyceum in this city. All England has 
been singing the tuneful waltz music, and no 
comic opera of recent years has come across 
the water with SO long a list of flattering press 
notices. Robert E. Graham, who has appeared 
here in a number of musical plays, has been 
engaged for that part that George Graves 
created in London; and Marion Armstrong 
will also be featured among the principals.

FASHIONS 



By E. Y. PRINCE 



In order to he well dressed and classed 
among those "who know how" it is not neces- 
sary to he wealthy; but one must he wise 
and above all have a good idea of the "eter- 
nal fitness" of things and then live up to the 
idea. 

Have we not all known some pretty girls, 
who after their actual living expenses are paid 




36-INCH CUTAWAY COAT 

Illustrated by permission of Doyle's. 

have scarcely anything left for clothing and 
yet who always look immaculately gowned? 
The woman with truly good taste is she who 
will always wear a trim little hat with her 
short skirt suit, one that is plain and with 
nothing on it that the rain can spoil or the 



wind disarrange. With this is an equally 
neat face veil to hold all stray locks of hair 
firmly in place and secured in the hack by a 
barrette of gold or any other plain material. 

The afternoon gowns being more elaborate 
with a much longer skirt, more latitude is 
allowed in our head gear, and we may array 
ourselves in larger shapes and more elaborate 
trimmings and pile on as many flowers, feath- 
ers, etc., as we can find places for; for this is 
indeed a season when millinery is laden down 
with everything imaginable. 

Marabout will be a popular trimming this 
fall, one full enough to extend entirely around 
the crown of a hat may be obtained for $4.50. 
No other trimming is necessary and such a 
pretty, soft result is obtained. 

Shaded maline is the newest thing in that 
line and is beautiful, shading from a deep 
tone on the outer edge to the lightest shade on 
the inner. Made up into ruff's they are cap- 
tivating. 

Fall Millinery 

A number of new hats shown for fall wear 
are of silk, usually with facing to match the 
feathers or other trimming, and both in con- 
trast to color scheme of crown. Extremely 
large tarn crowns with wide brims are also 
popular, but require a good size head with 
plenty of thick fluffy hair to carry them off 
well. One recently seen is of dark blue vel- 
vet, the only trimming being the double set of 
owls' heads and wings, shading from blue to 
many shades of green. 

Another stunning chapeau had huge crown 
of velvet with mushroom brim of satin. Quite 
the other extreme was the dearest little tailor- 
made hat seen in a Fifth Avenue shop. Made 
of soft satin beaver plateau, it was folded into 
a tiny little toque, with just two very large 
stiff quills and a pretty buckle on the side. 
Nothing prettier or more stylish could be 
found. 

Puffs for the Hair 

Of course we all know that whatever the 
hat may be this year, it is quite necessary for 
the wearer deftly to pin in the hair the cun- 
ning little puffs so much in evidence, as no 
head is now correctly dressed without them. 
Formerly we filled in vacancies between the 
hat and hair with maline but now it is with 
puffs; and so general has the custom become 
of wearing false hair, that no one hesitates 
to admit it or tries to conceal the fact that the 
beautiful mounds of hair were not all bestowed 
by benevolent nature. 

Street suits, as I wrote last month, are to 
be severely plain, strictly tailored and as man- 
nish as it is possible to make them. 

Gowns on the other hand, are most elabor- 
ate and admit of much variation and trim- 
ming.

EVERY FRIDAY 



An exquisite importation just shown was of 
black chiffon velvet, the skirt falling from the 
Waist in full graceful folds and -absolutely 
devoid of all trimming. The waist, of the 
same material, was made surplice effect, the 
wide yoke and "V" iii Front being filled in 

with rose point lace, Sleeves were i [ui 

taire with full puff at the top, the lower part 
closely gathered and continuing into a 
point over the hand. To be worn with this 
Bras three quarter length coat, of the same 
velvet, falling loosely from the shoulders and 
double-breasted, fastened with silk braid frogs 
Sown the front. The shoulders extended far 
over the dress sleeve in kimona effect, but the 
cloak itself was sleeveless. Heavy silk 
Braiding was used and completed the most 
:ous, as well as unusual costume, imagin- 
able. The only touch of color was the cherry 
velvet hand appearing on the collar. 

1 1 \niT Back Skirts 

The old time habit back skirts are once 
more with us and very pretty and graceful 
they are too, to a well-rounded figure. Gored 
skirts are very popular in checks and plaids. 
Large double plaids are being shown in silks 
a- a late novelty. 

Mo>t beautiful robes in white chiffon are 
being displayed for evening wear. Around the 
bottom and extending up the skirt for fully a 
yard in depth is a most exquisite border of 
flowers in several different colors. In some 
there is a ribbon interwoven, the whole effect 
heing that of indefinable loveliness. There is 
material enough for waist and sleeves all 
showing the same floral design and to be 
worn as a sash with long ends are the gorge- 
ous floral ribbons, of various widths. Such a 
gown would certainly fill the strongest of us 
with envy and lucky are the women whose 
purse; will permit of such an addition to their 
wardrobe. 

A dainty little house gown shown by a 
Fifth avenue house is of pale blue chiffon 
cloth. The fullness of the waist is confined 
across the shoulders in front by two box 
pleats on either side of plain panel from which 
to arm hole were two more pleats, the last 
one extending into upper part of sleeve and 
making it one in part with the waist. The 
sleeve extended to the elbow, the upper por- 
tion being cut open irregularly to display 
tucked white Paris muslin, made in a decided 
puff at top and ending in a narrow cuff of 
fine tucking. The shallow yoke was of the 
tucked muslin, outlined with narrowest hand 
of black satin and handsome applique. The 
skirt carried out the panel effect as on waist, 
with side pleats around from front, with a 
sec nid skirt (pleated) of graduated length', 
extending to knees giving the effect of a dou- 
ble skirt. A crush belt of black satin topped 
off this stylish model. 

Belts. Buckles and Co 
Belts are of leather or soft kid, according 
to the purpose, also of ribbon belting with 
large buckle. Belts generally match the skirt 
and never contrast. Buckles are worn in 
front altogether and perfect beauties are be- 
ing shown in silver, gold and jewels. 



The same may lie said of Condi-, for the 
hair, and tin- old fashioned designs of "in 

grandmothers' days are thi ones most sought 
after. 

The newest hoots for fall and winter wear 
are fully three inches higher than worn I 
and are either laced or buttoned. This style 
applies to both women and children, and are 
extremely becoming and comfortable. For 
skating and long walks they will be a great 
I'o itection to the ankles. 

Pumps for evening wear are in black with 
a half inch band of kid matching the gown 
around the top, finished with tiny bow of 
same in front. Heels of these pumps are 
much higher than formerly.

University Prospects 

By HUGH A. SMITH 

Present indications point to hopeful condi- 
tions when the University of Rochester opens 
its doors on Thursday morning, September 
19th, for its fifty-eighth year of activity. Regis- 
tration figures, as far as obtainable now, war- 
rant the hope that attendance at the local 
institution is in the ascendancy. Registrar 
Lamson states that he has already received 
applications from 104 new students, as com- 
pared with 89 at the corresponding date last 
year. He also knows of several other pros- 
pective freshmen, who will doubtless swell the 
final figures to exceed last year's total of 118. 
This will be the fifth successive year in which 
the entering class has gone beyond the century 
mark in numbers. 

Of the 104 applications in the office, 60 are 
from men and 44 from women. While it 
would seem that this proportion is swinging 
in favor of the feminine attendance, it is the 
experience of the office that the women usually 
register earlier. Enough more men are ex- 
pected to apply to bring the figures up to the 
normal ratio. In last year's class of 118, the 
ratio was 71 men to 48 women. 

The registrar is experiencing no little diffi- 
culty in housing the incoming students. The 
need for a dormitory system is no longer a 
mere sentimental one, with the fostering of 
college spirit as its basis; it has become an 
urgent necessity. It is no simple task for the 
registrar to locate adequate boarding places 
for the forty or fifty new students who an- 
nually seek them, and the office is facing a 
real problem. 

Planning a Dormitory 

Last spring President Rhees announced that 
Grant Hugh Brown, of New York, a Roches- 
ter alumnus, had offered $20,000 for the erec- 
tion of the first section of a dormitory. The 
section was to accommodate twenty-four men 
and to be erected so that subsequent sections 
could he added from time to time. Plans are 
under consideration by the architect, and it is 
hoped that the foundation for the much 
needed system may thus be laid during the 
coming year. It is further hoped that the 
new college year will witness the realization 
of the long sought Carnegie fund for the erec- 
tion of a school of applied sciences. Last 
June President Rhees announced that about 
$40,000. of the $100,000 needed to lake advan-

How You Feel About 
Your Own Teeth 



While it distresses you to see other people 
with defective teeth, the mortification is 
tenfold when the case is reversed, and it's 
your own that are out of condition. Es- 
pecially is this so if there happens to be a 
missing tooth in front, where you know 
everyone can see the gap. 

I bridge teeth in the same color, and the 
same shape as the natural ones and that's 
what every dentist can't do. 

DR. R. Q. MILLS 



tage of Mr. Carnegie's offer had been raised, 
and he was hopeful that the remaining sub- 
scriptions would materialize before another 
June. 

With the acquisition of dormitories and en- 
gineering courses a possibility of the near 
future, the outlook of the university seems 
bright. Already the institution is attracting 
students from alf parts of the country. The 
new entering class numbers men from Wiscon- 
sin, Illinois, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and 
many points in, or near, New York state. 

The present growth in attendance is attri- 
buted largely to the recent establishment of 
the pretechnical course, by which a student 
is enabled to go through the leading technical 
schools of the country in two years. He thus 
completes his college and technical training 
in six years, instead of eight. The policy of 
the present administration is to appeal more 
to the practical needs of the hour, particularly 
along the lines of science, at the same time 
maintaining Rochester's traditional standards 
of broad culture. Local commercial interests 
are thus being aroused and a closer relation- 
ship established between the college and the 
city. 

Ready for Opening 

President Rhees has been away on his vaca- 
tion but was to have returned to the city yes- 
terday. Practically all of the other members 
of the faculty have returned from their vaca- 
tions, including Professor William C. Morey, 
who was obliged to leave his work last spring 
through ill health. He will have an assis- 
tant this year, who will relieve him of the 
work in economics. 

The buildings have, been thoroughly reno- 
vated for the opening, the new Eastman build- 
ing having just been completed through the 
finishing touches of the decorators. The class 
rooms for Anderson Hall have also been redec- 
orated, and improvements installed in the 
Alumni Gymnasium.

Nestor of the Violin World 

A remarkable professional life, covering a 
period of 68 years, closed August 15th, when 
Joseph Joachim, the "Nestor of the Violin 
World," died of asthma. Besides being the 
founder and head of the celebrated Joachim 
String Quartette, he was the teacher of many 
celebrated artists. For thirty-five years he has 
been Director of Music at the famous Royal 
High School of Berlin. His compositions are 
chiefly for the violin. 

The Joachim String Quartette has main- 
tained the reputation of being the highest ex- 
emplification of Chamber-music-playing. Al- 
though Joachim never visited the United 
States, he prophesied that his grandchildren 
would live to see this country lead the world 
in music. 

He was born in Hungary June 28, 1831.

FOOTBALL 

Within a week- at tin' most, strict training 
rules will be in force among t lie football 
squads of the leading colleges and chief inter- 
est at the moment centres upon the talent that 
will be available f< >r the season of 1907, a mat- 
ter which is not so difficult to determine a 
Formerly, now that the one year's residena 
rule, eliminating all freshmen, will he enforced. 

Last year's freshman team, which fortu- 
nately was an exceptionally good one, will 
have l" be drawn upon largely to fill the ranks 
of Yale's eleven. She lost hy graduation prac- 
tically every man who played either as a regu- 
lar or substitute last year. 1 lowever, in Coy, 
Cooney, Murphy, Cutler, Rowen, Smith, 
Eames and Brides the nucleus of,a really first 
class team of players is at once available as 
successors to the 1906 champions. 

Harvard More Fortunate 

Harvard is somewhat better off than her 
New Haven rivals in the matter of old hands. 
I'raser, Kershurg, Osborne, Pierce and Foster 
have gone but the rest of the team remains as 
well as all last year's substitutes. Of the new 
material, Brown, an end, Talbot, a tackle, and 
Pierce, a brother of her lost tackle, are the 
most promising. 

Pennsylvania is the most fortunate of the 
"big fellows" this year, having no less than 
nine of last season's eleven available, the 
absentees being Levens and Lawrence. She 
has, in addition, an unusually fine list of strong 
players to draw upon, including Regan, the 
freshman quarter, Macklin, of St. Paul's 
School, for full back. Pike of Swarthmore for 
tackle, and Sommers of the Central High 
School for end. besides Braddock for half 
back. Miller, Pauxtis and Dietrick are also 
sure to be prominent in the' trial games. 
Cornell's Bright Prospects 

Cornell will, of course, miss the services of 
( ilenn Warner who has gone back to coach the 
Indians, but his successor, Lyle, the old Ithacan 
end, has ten of last year's team to start work 
with, Newman being the only loss, and he has 
some fine talent among last year's freshmen 
to fall back upon. The Indians are always 
somewhat of an unknown quality at the begin- 
ning of each season for reasons best known 
to themselves though they are sure to be well 
up to their usual high class standard, while 
West Point and Annapolis promise to be 
Stronger than last year. 

Princeton retains the best part of her 1906 
team but a new line will have to be developed. 
In this, unfortunately, lay her greatest weak- 
ness last year. She has fine new material in 
McFayden, of Exeter, and Seiling, of Law- 
renceville for guards, and Fryer of Hill School, 
Waller of the '05 team and Buckingham are 
good men for tackle or end and among last 
year's freshmen Jones and Gill are sure to carry 
the Tigers' colors in more than one match.

NOTES 

(a) This is the point where Black was sup- 
posed to come to grief, for if he tries to save 
his QKt pawn White pets a good attack. But 
Marco fearlessly gives up the pawn and 
gains time to develop his pieces. 

(b) Wolf will now have to lose another move 
if he gets his knight to a place of safety. If 
he leaves it where it is his queen is tied up 
until he can guard the knight with another 
man. 

(c) Wolf overlooked that after 18.— Q-Kt 4 cli 
Black can win the knight. But the game was 
lost anyway for White has no satisfactory 
line of play. 



White— 11 Pieces 

A continuous handicap tourney has just been 
begun at the Rochester Chess Club. It is a 
"Thumb Tack" tourney similar to the one held 
at the club two years ago. Each player starts 
with six thumb tacks which are placed on a 
board opposite his name. Every time a game 
is played the loser gives the winner a tack and 
the player who has the largest number of 
tacks at a stated time wins the tournament. 
An Interesting Game 

There is an attack in the Ruy Lopez open- 
ing for which the well known master, Wolf, used 
to have a partiality as he had been quite suc- 
cessful with it. In the tournament at Ostend 
last year, however, he tried it against Marcc 
with disastrous result. The latter player had 
doubtless expected it and found a satisfactory 
defense which gave him the game.

The Making of the Mayor 

(Continued from puiy u) 

flora, li was she, too, who had the li ■ of 

Bringing her father the first positive reporl of 
his election as mayor of Sunnyville. 

M.w Mean Higher Honors 

"I Hi so proud of you, daddy," she said. 
"Non poor, dear fellow! you deserve it, after 
Spending half of lasi night in that dreadful 
tievator. And mark my word, you'll lie made 
governor of the state one of these bright elec- 
tion days." 

"You're safely in line for it, colonel," 
affirmed young Thornton, shaking the hand of 
the new mayor. 

"If I ever am governor,' laughed Colonel 
Anson, "it will be owing to my detention in 
(hat elevator carriage. 1 see now that I was 
a hit too hasty in proposing to oppose the rc- 
newal of that franchise, and if I had made the 
speech I intended to, I would not be mayor 
to-day, and consequently out of the race for 
still higher preferment. But I want you two 
young people to promise me one thing." 

"What is that?" 

"If ever I do run for governor and get hard- 
beaded about some issue, I beg that you will 
lock me in my library, and not trap me again 
in an elevator carriage." 

Miss Flora gasped and sat down weakly. 
while Thornton retreated, a bit staggered. 

"Then you knew it all along, daddy !" 

"No," laughed Colonel Anson, "not till you 
came and sat on the stairway, you minx. Then 
1 knew it was a trap. But don't think I am 



offended; that delay was just whal I needed 
to clear my bead. Now I'll leave you to your 
further schemes, while I receive the congratu- 
lations of my townsmen." lie turned and left 
the room, still laughing. 

Some moments later Thornton did what no 
man save Colonel Anson himself bad ever 
dared to do. lie took the handsome Miss 
Flora into bis anus and kissed her. 

"I wonder if your father knows of this!" be 
smiled, gazing fondly into the level gray eyes. 

.Miss Flora returned the gaze, unabashed. 
"I don't know," she said, "and — 1 — don't 
mind !"" 



Motor Boat Racing 

Commodore E. J. Schroeder, of the Motor 

Boat Club of America, having won the British 
international cup for motor boats with his 
challenger, Dixie, the race next year will take 
place in American waters, and the holders of 
the cup are already planning to have a course 
somewhere on Long Island Sound. The 
British international cup, as it is now called, 
was formerly known as the llarmsworth cup. 
It was given by Lord NortbclifFe when he was 
Sir Alfred llarmsworth and it has been raced 
for several times. Once it was won by the 
French on a technicality, but was recaptured 
by the British the next season. 

The Yachting World, of London, in giving 
a full description of the recent race for the 
cup says : "Last Friday Mr. Schroeder's rac- 
ing 40 footer, Dixie, representing the Motor 
Boat Club of America, beat Lord Howard de 



Walden's Daimler II. by 1 minute 413-5 scc- 
onds in the race for the British international 

cup, running the distance of thirtj five nauti- 
cal miles ill 1 hour 15 minutes 44 seconds, that 
is io say, at a speed averaging 27.6 knots 
throughout The speed of Daimler II. was 
exactly half a knol l< . her total time being 
1 hour 17 minutes 25 1 5 seconds." 

I In- British are already at work building the 
in test possible boats which are to be finished 

by early spring. These will enter a seri 
contests among themselves and tin- winner will 
come to America as the challenger for 1908. 
The sport of motor boat racing i^ an expen- 
i ..lie, but has become very popular with 
the public in England and France in recent 
years, and is fast growing in favor here.

F you are contemplating the purchase of a Motor Car and 
want one that will give satisfaction, you should consider 
only the best. A little more money invested in the beginning 
will save you much annoyance and many dollars in repairs and 
cost of maintenance. 



•J We handle a line of cars that are without the slightest doubt the best the market affords. 
They are all of the highest standard of American manufacture and are considered as favorably abroad 
as they are in this country. 

f Such cars as the PIERCE-ARROW, STEVENS-DURYEA, STEARNS and LOCOMOBILE 
and POPE WAVERLEY ELECTRIC all rank among the foremost of American cars and should

Bloodless Battle of Batavia 

HARRY JEROME DODGSON 

AMONG the treasured relics of the early history and develop- 
ment of the Western New York is a plain, square, one story 
and a half structure, dignified in its simplicity, that stands on West 
Main street at Batavia. Above the entrance is a small tablet which 
reads: "Erected in 1801. Dedicated in 1904 to the memory of Rob- 
bert Morris.*' Antedating as it does the harnessing of steam, the 
telegraph and the telephone, the small dormer windows to the quaint 
old-fashioned building look down upon the hundreds of the speed 
god's cars that flash past on their course between Rochester and 
Buffalo. 

The quaint little pile of stone is revered as the Holland Purchase 
Land Office and owes its ori- 
gin to that great Revolution- 
ary patriot and financier to 
whose memory it is dedicated. 
In 1791 Robert Morris pur- 
chased of Massachusetts the 
western tract, 44 miles west of 
the pre-emption line, on the 
Pennsylvania line, and extend- 
ing north along the Genesee 
River to Lake Ontario. In 
1793, however, Morris was 
ruined as the result of the 
Revolution, and he disposed of 
bis purchase to men in Hol- 
land who formed the Holland 
Land Company. The title of 
the Indians to this vast terri- 
tory was relinquished by them 
at the convention, in 1797 at 
Big Tree, the present site of 
Geneseo. 

The present Land Office was 
the third of similar structures to 

be erected by the Holland Company. The preservation of this silent 
monument to the fame of the builders of Western New York is 
due in no small part to the Holland Purchase Historical Society 
which has converted it into a museum where is exhibited a valuable 
collection of ancient relics and curiosities of the pioneer days. De- 
on-go-wah Chapter, D. A. R., has the care of the building and assists 
in its maintenance. Its dedication, thirteen years ago, was attended 
by President Grover Cleveland and his cabinet. 

An exciting incident in the life of the Land Office was the 
bloodless conflict in which the venerable structure was the casus 
belli. In 1836, a time contemporaneous with the retirement from 
office of Joseph Elicott, the first agent of the company and the 
founder of Batavia. the Holland Land Company decided to transfer 
its interests. The Holland company held mortgages on a majority 
of the farms in the southern tier of counties. With the dissolu- 
tion of the land company, most of these mortgages went into the 
hands of trust companies and evidences of trouble became apparent. 
The first overt act in this initial elrsh between capital and labor 




FAMOUS OLD LAND OFFICE IN BATAVIA 



in Western New York occurred the night of February 6, 1836, when 
a determined party of fanners from Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, Alleg- 
hany and Wyoming counties marched upon and destroyed the build- 
ing and records of the Mayvillc Land Office in Chautauqua county. 
The successful event greatly elated those directly benefited by the 
destruction of the books and an attack was planned on the great 
head center of Land Offices at Batavia. Rumors of the proposed 
invasion spread rapidly and Batavia's independent company of 
militia, recruited from the rank of the leading citizens of the towns 
in the vicinity, polished their army muskets and in other ways pre- 
pared to defend the town. 

It was not until three months later that the call to arms came. 
At midnight of May 12, news was brought by a mounted courier that 
the farmers, 1,000 strong, had organized at Attica and were marching 

on Batavia. The alarm was 
sounded and the local company 
of militia prepared for a des- 
perate defense of the old build- 
ing. Four six-pounders loaded 
with grape and cannister and 
one twelve-pounder, c o m- 
manded the approach to the 
building from the bridge near- 
by. Skirmishers were des- 
patched to meet the enemy. The 
march on the town, however, 
was not made until the next 
morning when a band of 700 
men armed with rifles, clubs 
and crowbars, trooped aero.. 
the old bridge. In front of the 
Land Office they halted and 
gazed with unconcealed sur- 
prise and disappointment at the 
barricaded windows bristling 
with a half hundred shining 
muskets. 

Sheriff Townsend, in com- 
mand of the defense, ordered his men to "present arms" followed 
witli "take aim." He then informed the leader of the "invaders" 
that unless they marched on their lives would not be worth fifty 
cents on a dollar. The leader of the attacking party was quick b i 
grasp the situation and had hardly given the command. "Shoulder 
arms; march," before his army was crowding one another in an 
attempt to promptly execute the order. The "mob" marched out- 
side of town and finally returned crestfallen to their homes. Yet 
it was many days before the town recovered from the excitement. 

The historical society is considering the advisability of holding 
an annual banquet and reunion to perpetuate the memory of the 
Stirring events connected with times when the land office was at the 
height of its usefulness.

Ask any ten persons to-day what "Commer- 
cial Rochester" means and scarcely an ade- 
quate answer would be recefved. 

Why? Principally because there is a trick 
in the question. Few realize the vastness of 
the subject. 

Another thing. A man might have been 
thoroughly posted on the subject last year and 
yet be deficient in knowledge of it to-day. For 



This is not as rash a statement as it appears 
at first reading. Consider the operatioH of 
the trolley systems which radiate from the 
heart of Rochester. To all intents they are a 
continuation of the city car service, bringing 
scores of small cities and villages into active 
participation in our everyday life. There are 
thousands of persons affected by these changes, 
and there will be thousands added from time

MAYOR JAMES G. CUTLER 

Whose administration has been marked by much permanent betterment 

of public works, ably supplementing private enterprise 



we do not stand still ; we advance all the time. 
For instance, take population : In 1900 less 
than seven years ago, Rochester's population 
was 162,608. In 1905, it had grown to 181,666, 
an increase of about 4,000 a year. To-day, it 
is nearly 200,000, showing a considerable gain 
in the proportionate yearly increase, while by 
1910, considering the wonderful prospects and 
a corresponding rate of increase, Rochester 
should be a city of 300,000 or more. 



to time in the coming year. They transact 
their business here in person, they do their 
shopping here and come here for their recrea- 
tion and amusement. Our theatres are filled 
with them in the winter and our resorts are 
crowded with them in the summer. They at- 
tend the baseball games here and will fight 
in support of the Rochester players as earn- 
estly as any fan who lives in the city limits. 
If these are counted, Rochester's population 




has not far to go to reach the 300,000 mark. 
But leaving out those outside the city lines, 
there is only one thing to prevent the city 
reaching that figure in the time stated, and that 
is lack of living accommodations. Going back 
again to the year 1900, the value of the build- 
ing permits in that year was $1,705,178. In 
1906 their value was $6,175,499, while so far 
the present year they have reached almost 
five and a half millions. Think of it ! 

Many New Homes 
The greatest increase in these values began 
about 1904. Previous to that year the cry 
had gone out that we must have more houses 
before we could grow more. After two years 
of this state of affairs the agitation of the sub- 
ject began to have its effect. In 1904 many 
homes were built; that year the demand for 
houses was greater than ever. The next year 
more building was done than ever before. Still 
the demand grew. Last year the building 
operations were the heaviest in the history 
of the city, and this year they are far ahead 
of last year; and yet at the present time the 
need of more medium-priced homes, both to 
sell and rent, is felt in every part of the city; 
and according to representatives of some 
prominent industries is serious. That there 
is also a great demand for help is shown by 
the "Help Wanted" columns of the daily pa- 
pers, particularly for young women and girls; 
but this condition cannot be remedied in a 
moment, particularly as long as the conditions 
obtain regarding the scarcity of homes. 

What Commercial Rochester Means 
Thus it will be seen that "Commercial Roch- 
ester" means more than the casual thinker 
gives it credit for. Not only the immense 
wholesale district, with its hundreds of heav- 
ily-laden vans and its thousands of busy em-* 
ployes; not only the unlimited manufacturing 
interests, the thousands of wage earners, the 
busy retail stores, the great financial resources, 
the building operations or the wonderful ship- 
ments of manufactured products by rail and 
water; but the great army of salesmen who 
explain the merits of Rochester-made goods 
to the world, the wholesaler and retailer in 
all parts of the world who repeat this praise 
to every buyer, the rural merchant who tells 
Farmer Brown "that lantern was made in 
Rochester"; the man in Canandaigua, Alaska 
or Australia who wears Rochester clothes, 
boots or shoes, sits in a Rochester chair and 
breaks bread that was made from Rochester 
flour in the oven of a Rochester stove, or the 
tourist who presses the button of a Kodak on 
scenes all over the globe — all are a part of a 
world-encircling influence that can be summed 
up under the one head — "Commercial Roches- 
ter."

MU 




Music in the Home 

"Music is the harmonious voice of Cre- 
ation, an echo of the invisible world, one 
note of the Divine concord which the en- 
tire universe is destined one day to sound." 

Mazzini. 

Much has been written and said about music 
in the church, school, and public places, as a 
means of liberal education. 

Rapid strides are being made in these di- 
rections throughout the land, but it is in the 
home that music culture- should derive its im- 
pulse and inspiration. 

The home is where the child receives his 
first training. It is the mother who sings be- 
side the cradle and produces the first sounds 
to impress the infant's ear. There is no 
mystery in her song, she does not practice any 
particular form of breathing exercises, or 
adopt any method of holding the tongue to 
give out the tones of the simple lullaby; but 
trusts to nature and mother-love to produce 
a desired effect upon her child. Her song is 
usually a relic of her own childhood, a gold- 
en thread that stretches from one generation 
to another, bringing with it a message of love, 
that cannot be expressed by any instrument 
but the human voice, tuned by the human 
heart. 

Ruskin was not far wrong when he said : 
"All greatest music is by the human voice, as 
all greatest painting is of the human face." 

There is no home so poor, but may possess 
this human instrument, and no child so dull 
but may be influenced by its power. 

As soon as a child has reached the age of 
understanding the language of its parents, it 
is ready to learn something of the story of 
another child, who has lived in this world and 
left an influence of good in poetry or song. 

Every child is a hero-worshiper, and will 
listen with delight to a simple story of an- 
other child who has grown to be a "great 
man," as statesman, inventor, philosopher 
artist, or musician. He will adopt for his 
guide, one of these heroes, and his own life 
will, in a measure, be influenced by the choice 
he makes. Development must begin with the 
child's view-point. When he has expressed a 
choice of his musical hero, he should learn 
something of his music, and the wholesome 
thought, happiness, and joy of living it brings. 
Mozart and Mendelssohn are the favorites 
of the average child, because their music brings 
a message of love and life. 

They are the apostles of the sunshine, that 
forms an important element in child-life. 

Following Mozart and Mendelssohn, in the 
child's selection, are Handel and Haydn. 
With these four great names may be laid the 



M. URSULA ROGERSON 

foundation of a musical education that will 
comprise all others who have contributed to 
this noble art. 

As the child advances in school, he may en- 
large his knowledge by studying each nation 




MAUD LEE B1SSELL 

and country from a musical point of view. In 
doing this, he will learn that geographical 
position has much to do with temperament. 
"The customs of a nation furnish an idea of 
the dances and festivals, its religion and 
literature, the sacred and secular music- 
dramas and songs; its paintings, the scenic 
background for such musical works, and the 



portrayal of musical myths and fancies, while 
its architecture finds a shelter for mankind and 
all the liberal arts." 

I hi- simple plan of study would help both 
teacher and child, besides adding a two-fold 
mi. rest to the study of geography. 

This fund of knowdedge would form a valu- 
able portion of a liberal education and give 
to music the important place it should hold in 
the development of the human mind and soul. 
In Wales, whose music fame is world-wide, 
there is scarcely a home without a musical 
instrument, and at least one member of the 
family who can play it, while every one sings. 
As soon as a Welsh child can talk, he is taught 
to sing, and often when a mere babe, will fol- 
low the lullaby of its mother, as she tries to 
soothe him to sleep. 

His real training, however, begins when he 
attends Sunday School, (for the Welshman is 
as devoted to his religion as to music,) where 
he receives instruction from a juvenile choir- 
conductor, who teaches him to sing in har- 
mony with other children. 

In this way he is prepared, step by step for 
the National Eisteddfod, where hundreds of 
persons, young and old, meet at a central 
place to take part in musical competition, but 
this preparation received its first impulse in 
the home. 

In every human heart there is a desire for 
musical expression of one kind or another. 

When he have learned to take our music 
naturally, as we take our conversation, we will 
have done much toward gratifying this desire, 
and creating a musical atmosphere in our 
homes. 

It is in the home that music may do the 
most good and have its true place in harmon- 
izing our lives. 

Include all the family, young and old, in the 
musical education, instead of bestowing the 
gift upon one member who is supposed to pos- 
sess talent. 

Have ensemble music in the form of duets 
for piano, voice, and other instruments, thus 
giving each one something to do. In this way 
a taste for the beautiful may be developed and 
a love for music awakened, that will make the 
home what it is intended to be— "the dearest 
spot on earth." 

Rochester Singer's Success 

One of Rochester's daughters of whose fame 
as a pianist we are so justly proud and who 
has also won a splendid reputation by concert 
work outside of her native city, is Mrs. Maud 
Lee Bissell. Her father is the noted surgeon 
John M. Lee. Among her notable engage- 
ments was that with the Rochester Symphony

Sec'y. AUTOMOBILE CLUB 




If you have an automobile you must be 
interested in automobile life. I would like to 
give you the reason for the existence of auto- 
mobile clubs. They are not organized for 
social reasons, but for the betterment and pro- 
tection of automobilists' interests. 

What pleasure would there be in running 
an automobile to-day if it had not been for the 
New York State Automobile Association 
fighting the adverse laws in the legislature? 
If it were not for the various clubs through- 
out the state there would be no state associa- 
tion, as that great body is composed of and 
supported by these local clubs of which the 
Rochester Automobile Club is a decided fac- 
tor. 

Out of each member's dues paid to the local 
club one dollar is sent to the New York State 



More members in the local clubs means more 
members in the State Association; therefore 
more influence in the legislature. 

What funds are left in the club are used to 
pay running expenses such as printing, post- 
age and getting local benefits. The club is 
erecting road signs on all roads leading out of 
Rochester. These signs are of iron and placed 
upon posts by themselves. Each sign, post 
and placing, cost $4.85, so you can easily see 
that more members means more road signs, 
which are a great benefit to all persons using 
country roads. 

You probably visit New York during one of 
the automobile shows. The club has secured 
a rate of a fare and one-third for the round 
trip for members and family. Figure this up 
and see the amount you will save on the trip 




SECTION OF EAST AVENUE SHOWING URGENT NEED OF REPAIR 



Association as the dues to that organization. 
This money is used to retain able attorneys 
to fight obnoxious bills which are introduced 
in the state legislature. The same amount 
goes to the American Automobile Associa- 
tion which takes care of the national laws and 
interests of automobilists. This last named 
body is composed of state associations, and 
so by becoming a member of the Rochester 
Automobile Club, you also become a member 
of these two great organizations, the state and 
national. 

One bill to be introduced in the next state 
legislature is the Brooks bill compelling all 
machines to have a fender on the front of the 
car similar to a street car fender. This bill 
will be difficult to defeat, and if you do not 
have to carry one of these arrangements on 
your car, it will be through the energy and 
influence of the associated clubs of the state, 
and as in all other organizations, the influence 
is due to the number and activity of its mem- 
bers. 



with your family. Is that not alone worth the 
$5 dues you pay yearly? Is not the pleasure 
of knowing you belong to an association that 
gives the orphans of our city such a day as 
they had recently worth something? 

The associated clubs are mainly responsible 
for the new state roads, one of which has just 
been opened in this vicinity and of which there 
will be a number more, next year. 

Other benefits derived from being a mem- 
ber of this club are : It will prosecute any one 
who steals your car ; it obtains for you reduced 
rates in automobile insurance; it gets you low 
bonding rates into Canada without the trou- 
ble associated with a tour into that country; 
it makes up routes for you wherever you wish 
to go ; it gives you privileges of other clubs 
when on tour, and there is always a brotherly 
feeling for fellow members when one is in 
trouble on the road. There is material in and 
around Rochester to make the Rochester Au- 
tomobile Club one of the largest in the state, 
in fact the largest outside of New York city. 



On the social end of the club there are the 
annual banquet and the smokers throughout 
the winter months at which there is an ex- 
pert talk on some part of an automobile. There 
are also the gymkhana, and the club runs. The 
secretary is in his office from 8 :30 o'clock to 
9:30 o'clock each morning and from 1 to 2 
p. m. and is willing to give his help or any 
information which he has, or can procure, for 
the benefit of the members. The club rooms 
at 25 Plvmouth avenue, are open all day. The 
late editions of the automobile journals are 
on file; also route books and general informa- 
tion on the automobile question. 

Why don't you become a member, and 
thereby contribute your mite to the good work 
accomplished, and at the same time share in 
the other benefits? If you have only an elec- 
tric you should join. If it were not for the 
associated clubs defeating the taxation bill last 
year you would now be paying more annual 
taxes on your electric than your yearly dues 
in the club would aggregate. 

There are many local objects that could be 
accomplished with a larger membership. The 
membership of the club at the present time is 
396 persons and, if by next season, we can 
increase this number to 800 the Rochester 
Automobile Club could make itself heard in a 
great man}' ways. 

If "in union there is strength" who is in 
more need of an organization than the motor- 
ists, with the feeling that exists toward this 
class from a large share of the less for- 
tunate public? 

As you are an owner, in what better way 
can you protect your interests and the inter- 
ests of your fellow motorists than by paying 
an annual fee of five dollars and becoming a 
member of the Rochester Automobile Club. 

You may not, from some personal reason 
or otherwise, wish to join the club, but 3'ou, 
as an owner and driver of an automobile, 
should not let that interfere with doing your 
share to protect yourself and to help in the 
good work being done and to be accomplished 
by the clubs of the country, as each member 
added to any club, means a little more influ- 
ence and protection national, state and local. 

The secretary will be pleased to receive 3-our 
application for membership.

Fine WeeK-E.nd Trip 

The editor made the following run a short 
time ago and found it to be a verj inti resting 
and enjoyable trip; if it is made as an all Sun- 
day run you should gel a very earlj starl as 

there arc several stops of interest; tin- mute 

and roads as follows : 

Go to Pittsford by either the East avenue or 
Monroe avenue mute; if by Kast avenue go 
straight through Pittsford, by the Monroe 
turn right at four corners, bear left at forks 

outside of Pittsford into Mendon, turn left at 
hotel to state road al out a mile from the vil- 
lage. From Pittsford to Mendon will be 
found quite poor roads; hut when the state 
road is reached one forgets it in the enjoyable 
run over the improved road into Canandaigua. 
Pass directly through Canandaigua to the lake, 
taking the left turn which very shortly will 
bring you on the improved road. Follow this 
road direct to the Pre-emption road about a 
mile outside of Geneva; turn left then right 
into Geneva, 45.8 miles. 

When leaving Geneva, go out Main street 
past lloharl College, through hollow by the 
cemetery; take second right which brings you 
on the Pre-emption mail again which you fol- 
low to the end of the mad. 'Phis road is quite 
dusty hut fair as to road bed. Turning left, 
two miles out of Penn Van, keep straight on to 
Main street, Penn Van. dl miles; turn left into 
business section; turn left with street car 
track-- on Elm street; follow car tracks directly 
into Branchport; turn left here and keep to 
the lake into Hammondsport, 85 miles. This 
road is up and down continually, but the road- 
bed is good and the scenery is fine and is 
really the most enjoyable part of the trip. 

After leaving Hammondsport, go up street 
on opposite side of park from where you came 
in, taking first left to monument, then right, 
passing by several wine cellars where you will 
he a welcome guest, and farther on the State 
Fish Hatcheries where you can see some fine 
specimens of the finny tribe, including the 
Albino trout. Keep on this road until you 
reach Bath, 91 miles. While here you should 
visit the Soldiers' Home. When leaving Math. 
turn left at the town clock and go to railroad 
crossing where you bear left at the forks, go- 
ing directly through Kanona. Avoca, Wallace 
and Cohocton. Continue up the valley about 
four miles, turn left into North Cohocton. then 
directly into Wayland, 118 miles. Turn left at 
hotel and go directly into Hansvillc. 124 miles. 
You can coast nearly the entire distance be- 
tween these towns. When leaving Dansville 
do not let anyone send you by the way of Mt. 
Morris to Ceneseo; but go north on the Main 
street, passing through Groveland into Gene- 
seo. Keep going north to Avon, passing 
through this place, turning left to Canawagus; 
then right to Scottsvillc, to Rochester. 

The entire trip covers 175 miles and should 
not be taken directly after a heavy rain 

Inspect universal joints frequently. If there 
are indications of wear resulting from too 
much play, have them fixed before you venture 
out on the road. This precaution will prove 
a wise one. 



The Six-Cylinder Car 

Whatever theory one may have, tin- six-cyl 

inder car is a proposition winning its own wa 
iii practical demonstration. After oni 

ride behind a si.N cylinder engine, men seem to 

be converted to the support of this type, no 

matter what their previous prejudice. It is 
-.ale to say that the six-cylinder will cut quite 

a figure in 1908. 

Repairing Valve Stems 

line method of repairing valve stems which 
have been worn short by continued use and 
which in other respects are still serviceable, 
is to cut a piece of tool steel of the proper 
diameter to the end of the stem and while the 
metal is hot chill it by holding it in cold 
water. This having been done, the stem can 
be ground to perfect length and it is good as 
new. lie repair costs but little and can be 
made 1 \ any repair man with ordinary facil- 
ities. 



Rules of The Road 

Every driver of an automobile should be 
thoroughly familiar with the following "Rules 
of the Road" as established by the Common 
Council : 

"Vehicles shall keep to the right and as near 
the right hand curb as possible, and when meet- 
ing shall pass each other to the right. 

"Vehicles overtaking others shall in passing 
keep to the left, and shall at the intersection of 
public streets keep to the right of the intersec- 
tion of the center of such streets when turning 
to the right, and pass to the right of such inter- 
section when turning to the left, and shall when 
crossing from one side of the street to the 
other turn to the left so as to head in the same 
direction as the traffic on that side of the 
street; vehicles moving slowly shall travel as 
close to the curb line on the right so as to 
allow faster moving vehicles free passage on 
th • lef;. 



New Rule of the Road 

\ new rule of reciprocity, courti y, hospital- 
it . or whatever it may l" called, that i- com 
in i mio oh i i i am i i for the guest or guest ■ 
to pay all the expenses while out on a trip in 
the automobile of a friend. This has the stamp 
of common sense, for it has been in the nature 

of "rubbing it in" to have the man who fur- 
nishes the car, tin- gasoline and the drivel 
all the bills at the roadside stops. Some club- 
men started the thing while passengers by stip- 
ulating that as they bail to submit to the car 
owner being the host while on the road, they 
would insist on being the host whenever they 
stopped for food and drink. 

The idea appeal to many as equitable and a 
promoter of ease in mind when a party is made 
up for a. trip. 

Recalling a recent collision between an auto- 
mobile and a cyclist at Spring and Exchange 
streets, brings to mind a point where a traffic 
officer is much needed. Ten minutes spent at 
this point will see many failures to comply 
with the traffic laws. 



From October 24th to October 31st the 
Automobile Club of America and the American 
Motor Car Manufacturing Association will

From October 31st to November 7th, will be 
held the eighth annual automobile show of the 
Association of Licensed Automobile Manufac-

However the merchant to-day may be 
disposed to consider the commercial vehicle 
as an experiment, not for a moment will he 
dispute the fact of the necessity of the motor 
car in retail deliveries. Modern business i-

are also beyond a horse.

Where the Golf Spirit Reigns 

At the Oak Hill Country Club the Royal and Ancient Game Flourishes Amid the Rest 

Traditions and Surroundings 



OLIVER STURGES JONES 



IN his chapter dealing with the game in the 
United States, written some years ago as a 
contribution to Horace Hutchinson's standard 
work "The Book of Golf," H.J. Whigham, one 
of our earliest amateur champions, though by 
birth and golfind education a true Scot, laid 
stress upon his opinion that golf had already 
begun to revolutionize the whole life of busi- 
ness men in America and that people were be- 
taking themselves to the country in prefer- 
ence to that life in the cities that they used 
to love better than the rural delights. 

Although he was speaking of the outlook 
for the game nearly a decade ago, Mr. Whig- 
ham's remarks have been more than justified. 
The "call o' the links" summons recruits far 
and wide by the thousand each year; the very 
prairies are dotted with greens, the valleys 
re-echo with the click of driver and brassie 
and to-day the warning cry of "Fore" is heard 
in the fastness of the Rockies, on the banks 
of the Rio Grande, and throughout the length 
of the Atlantic coast.

J. B. BRYAN. 

Captain of the golfing contingent. 



For this much at least then may the intro- 
duction of golf on this continent be credited 
with, that it has created a salutary change of 
taste in our habits by giving us a wholesome 
and healthful recreation wherein lie also great 
possibilities for the development of skill, af- 
fording us ample reasons for blessing the rev- 
elation that discovered the game to America. 

That golf is no pastime for the lazy or the 
frivolous the tiro quickly perceives and he 
either develops the "habit" as being well worth 
his serious attention or abandons the game as 
beyond his mental capacity to appreciate. Of 
the many hundreds of clubs that have sprung 
into existence during the last ten years, few 
have "gone into the game" with such a gen- 
uine and earnest golfing spirit as is evinced at 
the Oak Hill Country Club. A visit there 
almost any afternoon would delight the hearts 
of such pioneers and preceptors of the "Royal 
and Ancient" as the Morris family or the 
Parks or the Dunns, to say nothing of their 
pupils who have attained high honors in the 
amateur field. 

The beginner, whatever his age may be, is 
made to feel at home at Oak Hill from the 
first time he handles his driver and his more 
experienced clubmates are ever ready to lend 
their council and advice. It is the seriousness 
with which every player addresses his ball 
on the first tee and with which every stroke 
thereafter is played until "Sweet Home" is 
reached under the lee of the club-house that 



is so pronounced here. There is a determined 
"must do two holes better this round" expres-

sion written in everj face as the pi o 

moves from green to green. 

Pounded and incorporated in October 1901, 
the firsl board of governors was constituted 
as follows: Howard A. Barrows, Otto Block, 
Louis S. Foulkes, Wilbur S. Grant, Win. S. 
Hubbard, Jr., Henry J. Moore, Lansing G. 
Wetmore, Rolla C. Grant, Lucius E. Hogle, 
Frederick W. Zoller, Nathan P. Pond, Louis 
L. Williams, Hiram R. Wood, John S. Wright 
and Edmund R. Huddleston. It was started 
primarily as a golf club but lawn tennis courts 
and a goodly supply of boats and canoes are 
included among the attractions. From the 
above governors, the firsl se1 of officers was 
chosen as ('..Hows: President, Dr. Grant: first 

vice-president, Colonel Pond; second vice- 
president. Mr. Williams; secretary, Mr. Hud- 
dleston, and treasurer, Mr. Moore. The firsl 
year some two hundred and twenn resident 
members were enrolled and the auxiliary mem- 
bers (ladies) numbered about half as many. 
From the ver\ beginning the club started on 
a successful career and the active member- 
ship list which is limited to two hundred and 
fifty is practically always at high water mark. 

The grounds, which cover some eighty acres, 
were at first held on lease, but with the ac- 
cession three years ago of George W. Aldridge 
to the presidency of the club, his characteristic 
determination was brought to bear on securing 
their purchase. This has now been accom- 
plished and that the Oak Hill Country Club 
is now its own landlord and in possession of a 
valuable property is attributed by the mem- 
bers to Mr. Aldridge's tireless energy in the 
matter and his re-election as president each 
year since his first occupancy of the office is 
a testimony of appreciation of his good work 
to further a game of which he is himself an 
active and devoted player. 

The club's constitution does not call for any 
particular comment, except, perhaps, article 
V which provides that "no wines or liquors 
shall be sold or given away upon the prem- 




ETIQUETTE O 

C. M. Lane, I. S. Robeson, Dr. G. A. Engert 
for the party ahead 

ises." This is a well-timed regulation and it 
certainly cannot be charged to the Oak Hill 
Club that it flourishes, as so many similar or- 
ganizations are unfortunately compelled to 
confess, on the profits from its cafe or bar. 
There are four kinds of membership, active 
with dues of $40, auxiliary $5, non resident 
$10 and associates $20. 

A board of governors and the usual com- 
mutes manage the club's affairs and in addi- 
tion to Mr. Aldridge, the chief officers are as 
follows: First vice-president, J. B. Bryan; sec- 
ond vice-president, Dr. J. M. Ingersoll ; treas- 
urer. Judge A. J. Rodenbeck, and secretary, 
Dr. C. V. C. Comfort. Mr. Bryan is also the 
club's captain and I. S. Robeson is chairman

and G. W. Robeson waiting at the fifth tee 
to get out of range 

of the Green's Committee. These officials are 
intensely active in their work on the club's 
behalf and truly consider their positions to be 
far from sinecures. The steward, E. A. Kuhn, 
has been with the club three years and the 
members speak highly of his services. 

The site of the club house is on a high rise 
of ground from which an extended view can 
be had of the city on the north, the river on 
the west and south park on the south. The 
grounds are within two minutes walk of the 
Plymouth avenue car line and it is contem- 
plated that when electricity is thoroughly in- 
stalled on the Erie road a passenger station 
will be opened on the east boundary of the 
club's property. 

Lack of space precludes our giving a detailed 
description of the golf course which is "sporty" 
to a high degree and as nearly as "natural" a 
links as can be found in any part of the coun- 
try. A liberal nine-hole round is provided 
over an undulatory ground full of pit-falls for 
the unskilled and unwary. The total length 
is 3003 yards, varying from tee to green of 
185 yards for No. 9 to 500 yards for No. 8. 

The names of the greens, which have full 
local significance, are: No. 1, "Waterloo," No. 
2, "Erie," No. 3, "Lehigh," No. 4, "Big Oak," 
No. 5, "The Twins." No. 6, "Midway." No. 7, 
"The Lane," No. 8, "Genesee" and No. 9, 
"Sweet Home." The "colonel's" age is re- 
turned as 40 but well as many of the members 
know the course it is not often that his life 
is put in jeopardy. 

In Alfred Campbell, the club has a young 
professional who is likely to be "heard from" 
sooner or later in the open championships. A 
native of Forfarshire he was a prominent 
player of the Carnoustie Club, which also sent 
out into the world Alex. Smith, the previous 
open champion of the United States.

EVERY FRIDAY 



At Journey's End 



J. NORTHERN HILLIARD 



"Confound these timetables," growled Wil- 
lington, scowling across the breakfast table at 
his wife. "They're about as luminous as a 
Chinese cryptogram." 

"They are puzzling," said his wife, sympa- 
thetically, "and one is never quite sure whether 
a. m. means p. m. or just the other way." 

"Which is just like a woman," commented 
Willington, who, like the average masculine 
person, believed himself a master of repartee 
and sarcasm. "Why is it your sex is never 
able to comprehend the little practical details 
of life?" 

"A wise provision of nature," answered his 
wife, sweetly ; "because if a woman were able 
to do her own thinking she would not need 
a husband." 

Willington winced and savagely studied the 
railroad folder to conceal his discomfiture. 
He never felt wholly satisfied with himself 
after a verbal encounter with his wife. He 
had the uncomfortable feeling that his re- 
joinders were inadequate. 

"From what I can make out of this con- 
glomeration of words and figures," Willington 
observed, in as dignified voice as he could 
command, ignoring his wife's remark, "the 
most satisfactory train to take is the 11 :4S. 
that will get us in Utica in time to connect 
with the north bound express. We can stop 
over night at Saranac Inn and leave the next 
morning for Lake Placid." 

"Why, Edward," expostulated Mrs. Willing- 
ton, "we can never get ready in the world for 
that train." 

"And why not?" demanded the head of the 
household, eyeing his wife sternly. 

"Why not?" repeated Mrs. Willington. 
"How foolish you are, Edward. I've got my 
hands full. The children are not ready, and 
I must finish packing, tidy up the house, and 
write a note to the Orchardsons to let them 
know we won't be able to attend Margerie's 
wedding. And there are a dozen and one 
other things to do besides." 

"Nonsense," growled Willington. "There's 
no earthly use in putting this thing off to a 
later train. I can take only two weeks this 
year and don't intend to waste any more min- 
utes than necessary in town. If we go on a 
later train we'll have to spend a night in 
Utica. I think you might be reasonable in 
this matter. It's only 8 now and we have three 
whole hours in which to get ready. You at- 
tend to the children and your social duties and 
I will look after the packing and getting the 
baggage to the station." 

"But, Edward," remonstrated his wife, "you 
don't know where all the things are, and you 
will — " 

"Not another word, Mary," interrupted Wil- 
lington, icily. "A moment ago you were good 
enough to inform me that if you were able to 
do your own thinking you would not have 
married me. Therefore, if I must shoulder 



the responsibilities of this household, I intend 
to run things in my own way." 

"Very well," answered the dutiful wife. 
"We will go on the morning train." 

"That's the way to talk," commended the 
husband, assuming a more cheerful tone. "I'll 
run over to the drug store and telephone for 
the baggage man, and while I'm gone you can 
put out what things you want to go in the 
trunk, and I'll do the packing in short order 
when I come back." 

Mr. Willington drained his second cup of 
coffee and departed. Mrs. Willington sum- 
moned the servant and gave her an elaborate 
and detailed plan of campaign to follow during 
the family's absence. The children were en- 
ticed to the bathroom and alternately per- 
suaded and threatened to undergo the torture 
of a scrubbing. Leaving the children splashing 
in the tub she turned her attention to the 
packing, and was on her knees before the 
trunk when Willington returned. He was in 
a genial frame of mind and was humming 
something about somebody keeping a little 
cos}' corner in her heart for him. 

"How you getting along?" he asked. 

"Not very fast, dear. You know one has 
to do a good deal of thinking in order to pack 
a trunk right." 

"That's so," assented her husband compla- 
cently. "You attend to the children and I 
will finish the packing. I am an old hand at 
this sort of thing and will have it done in no 
time. The man for the baggage will be here 
at II sharp." 

Mrs. Willington promptly resigned her 
work, and her husband, discarding coat, vest 
and suspenders, bustled about the room, busy 
and cheerful. The trunk was soon bulging 
with clothes. 

"I guess I'll wear my lineivsuit," he mused, 
as he looked thoughtfully, and with an artist's 
pride, at his work. "They're the only togs to 
travel in. I'll just put the clothes I've got on 
in the trunk. They'll do to knock about in_up 
there." 

The exchange was quickly made and the 
trunk closed, locked and strapped. Mrs. Wil- 
lington watched these proceedings with some 
apprehension. 

"You're sure you've got everything in, Ed- 
ward?" she asked. 

Willington laughed good naturedly. 

"Don't worry about the trunk," he said. "I 
am usually in the habit of mixing a little gray 
matter with my work. If you attach any 
weight to mere masculine opinion, I will say 
that if a woman would only use her brain a 
little she would find the domestic routine less 
arduous and monotonous." 

"I know, dear," replied his wife, humbly, 
"but, really, it is so easy to forget something 
when one is packing in a hurry." 

"Forget? Nonsense. A man can't be a 
lawyer and be in the habit of forgetting. Where 



would I be if I forgot? I realize, of course, 
that women are not accustomed to responsi- 
bilities, and I suppose it is only natural that 
they should have lapses of mind. It is a de- 
fect in our modern method of feminine educa- 
tion." 

"Did you put in socks and shirts enough to 
last two weeks?" 

"Yes. Everything's all right, I tell you. You 
need not worry a second while I'm running 
this business." 

"I confess I'm dreadfully nervous," said 
Mrs. Willington. apologetically, "but, as you 
say, we women cannot think and act in emer- 
gencies so quickly as you men. So you will 
have to overlook the natural shortcomings of 
the sex." 

"Oh, that's all right, my dear," said Mr. 
Willington, magnanimously. "If you women 
were different you would not be so charming 
by half." And Mrs. Willington kissed him 
for the pretty speech. 

When the baggage man arrived the family 
were ready to depart. Of course they were 
delayed on the way downtown, and it was 
five minutes of train time when they entered 
the station, and the gateman was shouting in 
a raucous voice, "Train for Syracuse, Utica, 
Albany, Poughkeepsie and New York." 

"That's our train," said Willington. "You 
take the satchel and wait here while I get the 
tickets. I won't be a minute." 
"Do hurry," exclaimed his wife, nervously. 
"Plenty of time," said Willington, jauntily, 
as he moved toward the ticket window. 
"Plenty of time, my dear. Don't get nervous." 
Each second was an hour to Mrs. Willing- 
ton as she watched the stream of people flow- 
ing through the narrow channel of the gate 
into the trainshed. The clanging of a bell 
filled her with alarm. 

"All 'board !" shouted the man at the gate. 
"Train goin' east for Syracuse, Utica, Albany, 
Poughkeepsie and New York ! All 'board !" 

The stream of people had stopped. Only a 
few stragglers, lugging satchels and bundles, 
were hastening through the gate. Mrs. Wil- 
lington moved toward the trainshed. 

"Better hurry, ma'am, if you want this 
train," said the gateman. "It starts in half a 
minute." 

Mrs. Willington looked wildly around. Her 
husband was walking slowly across the tes- 
sellated floor. 

"Hurry, Edward," she called. "The train is 
going." 

Willington did not quicken his pace. A 
bell clanged and the gateman shouted "All 
'board" for the last time. Mrs. Willington 
rushed to her husband and clutched his 
arm. 

"Conic conu." she gasped. "Do you want 
to miss the train? What's the matter, Ed- 
ward? Have you lost your senses?"

EVERY FRIDAY 



Vagaries of 'Public Opinion. 



WILLA RD A. MARA KLE 



Public < Ipinion, i li.it elusive and pu ■ ling 
personage, lias its mind made up thai tin- re- 
publicans arc in name Mayor Cutler tn suc- 
ceed himself, while Alderman William Ward 
will bold aloft the banner of democracy. 

Public Opinion also has ii thai Mayoi Cut 
Iit is nol the choice of the republican organ 
ization, but that the latter, Following the ex- 
perience of the state organization with Hughes, 
will be forced to take him. Public Opinion 
also has it that William Ward is tagged with 
the Conners-Finucane brand of democracy and 
that, if elected mayor, he will be bound band 
and fool to the democratic machine, if a 
vehicle with Conners as chauffeur and [-1 caret 
.•is chief passenger can be so styled, 

Just to show how easily Public Opinion can 
be fooled -nol necessarily as demonstrating 
that it is fuelled this lime — let us analyze the 
proposition that Mayor Cutler's renomination 
and re election would be a black eye to the re- 
publican organization. I lis honor has been 
an organization man for years. He has ob- 
jected occasionally to methods of procedure 
adopted and pursued by the organization lead- 
ers I lit, in the main, he has acquiesced in them 
and even been a potent factor in carrying them 
nut. lie has served as chairman of the re- 
publican state delegation From Monroe, and 
participated in the election of Mr. Aldridge 
as state committeeman. Last year he was the 
indorsed choice of the Monroe delegation for 

governor— and Mr. Aldridge headed the dele- 
gation. 

The republican organization, with Mr. 
Aldridge as its leader, is still intact after four 
years of Mr. Cutler as mayor. It is true that 
when Mr. Aldridge desires favors from the 
city administration he has to "see" Mayor Cut- 
ler, but that is true of any important matter 
in and about the City Hall, whether Mr. 
Aldridge is the interested party or not. Mayor 
Cutler's theory of the uniform charter for 
cities of the second class is that supreme 
authority is vested ill the mayor and that the 
appointive officers composing the "mayor's 
cabinet" are serving the city in the capacity of 
clerks, with the mayor as chief director and 
office manager. 

Can it he argued with any degree of plausi- 
bility that the republican organization would 
be counted out if the mayor were renominated 
and re-elected? No one can be found ready 

to stand up and say, right out in meeting, that 
Mr. Aldridge is opposed to Cutler. It is no 
secret that Countj Chairman Hotchkiss wants 
two years more of Cutler. Undoubtedly, Sher- 
iff Craig. Richard Gardiner, Merton E. Lewis 
and other shining lights in the organi ation 
would prefer a mayoralty candidate more 
closely and intimately allied with the party 
workers, but are they openly in revolt? 

Probably, the underlying reason for the sud- 
denly developed public opinion that Mayor 
Cutler's renomination is opposed by the re- 



publican organization is this clause of the 
mayor's letter in reply to the petition asking 
him to viand for a third term: "If there is 
sufficient public expression to induce the re 
publican convention to nominate me I will 
put aside mj personal preference and accept 
such a nomination." 

This seems lo le interpreted by public opin- 
ion as a challenge io the republican organiza- 
tion, as saying in effect: "If you do not n 
nominate me, such action must he taken :h 
public notice that you do not want me lor 
mayor, and that you repudiate my administra- 
tion." 

What is there- in that to warrant public 
Opinion in the inference that the republican 
organization is not inclined to renominate Mr. 
Cutler? May not the petition — which bears 
the name of no politician of prominence — 
asking the mayor to run and the killer's reply- 
be a part of the stage setting for one of Mr. 
Aldridgc's clever dramatic coups? The mayor 
said very positively, in a prepared statement 
last spring, that he would not be a candidate 
for renomination. Most persons took it that 
be would not he a candidate for re-election, 
hut they did not read the statement carefully. 
Now, may it not be possible, that the re- 
publican leaders, knowing the mayor's feelings, 
realizing what an asset the Cutler administra- 
tion would le in a campaign and with a keen 
perception that the chief figure in that ad- 
ministration would lie better able to explain 
and defend it than any one else, carefully paved 
the way whereby the mayor could be made 
to see that be owed it to the city and to the 
party to again head the republican ticket? 
While on this phase it may be remarked in 
passing that Mr. Aldridge said several weeks 
ago: "It is up to Mr. Cutler to run or not to 
run." 

Looking at it in another light, if there were 
any hesitancy on the part of the republican 
leaders to nominate the mayor for a third 
term, it is at least plausible to suppose 
that they wished to spare his feelings, fames 
G. Cutler is known as a man of kindly heart 
and sensitive disposition. With Ward as the 
democratic nominee, a red-hol campaign is to 
be expected. Chances favor one in which the 
Cutler administration will he attacked in a 
savage manner. Probably, some of the charges 
made will be over-drawn and some of them 
may belong in the realm of fancy. But if 
Ward carries out the campaign he has planned 
the mayor will he the target of a fiercer 
personal attack than any be has been called 
upon io face in all bis political career. 
Mis political associates may have wished to 
spare him, and to this may he attributed their 
hesitancy in forcing him to hear the brunt of a 
third battle. 

In discussing last week the possibility 
stampede of the republican city convention for 
Mr. Aldridge. it was said that among those 



who favored it were men who had personal 
to hat pen A similar quantity may 
measured in the campaign for campaign it 
I- and nothing else to make Mr. Cutler the 
nominee for a third term. While the mayor is 
the dominant factor in the City Hall there 

•'ire some nice po itii i his gift, and those 

lew filling them must not he blamed if they 
wish to continue therein. To he sure, the 
ii' i mayor, if a republican, could insure them 
another term, hut Mr Cutler did nol continue 
Mayor Rodenbeck's corporation counsel, Wil- 
liam A. Sutherland. Mr. Cutler's successor 
may have a few friends of his own whom be 
would like lo see in the cabinet. Probably, 
the republican organization, if it had tie 
say, might recommend new men for commis- 
sioners of public safety and of public works. 
It is suggested that, perhaps, the "City Hall 
Crowd," as it is dubbed facetiously, may he 
more than interested in working up the third 
term sentiment. Probably, there is nothing 
to this, hut politicians are prone to dig deep 
for reasons in every move. 

Now take the Ward end of public opinion. 
In conversation with a writer a few days ago 
Mr. Ward said with all apparent sincerity, that 
it he were the democratic nominee for mayor 
be would insist upon managing his own cam- 
paign. If he were elected, moreover, be would 
he the mayor and would act according to bis 
own conscience, no matter whether it pleased 
Mr. Conners, Mr. Finucane, or any one else 
on earth. Ward's record in the Common 
Council I ears this out. lie has been a kicker 
from the drop of the hat. None of his 
associates ever was able to "deliver" Ward 
in the Council. lie says bis mayoralty 

campaign will he waged along kicking lines. 
He intends to attack the Cutler administra- 
tion as extravagant and not beneficial 
to the small taxpayer. He will argue that 
it is folly to suppose that the mayor will 
change his commissioner of public works, and 
the Ward cry will be, either that Commission- 
er Elwood is not big enough for his job or 
that his hands are fettered by the mayor. In 
either event, Ward says Mr. Cutler must bear 
the blame for the present condition of the 
city's streets. ,,n,| one of the witnesses the 
Ward orators will call against the administra- 
tion will be the Democrat and Chronicle, the 
paper which leads the movement for a third 
term, and which has characterized the condi- 
tion of the streets of Rochester as disgrace- 
ful. 

But, even with all this admitted. Ward has

MAUDE ADAMS 

The coming week will be an important one 
at the Lyceum. It offers the first presenta- 
tion on any stage of Henry Arthur Jones' 
new drama, "The Galilean's Victory." It is 
expected that this will be the most important 
first night of the season, at which time many 
prominent persons in the dramatic world will 
be present, including the distinguished author. 
The last half of the week will see the new 
light opera that has been so widely heralded, 
"The Merry Widow." 

This week the offerings ran more to the 
popular, and included George M. Cohan's 
"George Washington, Jr.," at the Lyceum, and 
Williams and Walker at the National. The 
Cook had its usual good opening with Cole 
and Johnson, Hilda Spong, and Amelia Sum- 
merville prominent in the bill. 

The Baker Theater, under the management 
of Klaw & Erlanger, was opened auspiciously 
on Monday night. "Advanced Vaudeville" 
was represented by several clever actors, 



among whom the Gautschmidts, Mr. and Mrs. 
Jerry Cohan, John Hyams and Leila Mcln- 
tyre and Caicedo deserve especial mention. 
That Rochesterians are to have opportunity 
to enjoy the best in vaudeville is emphasized 
bv the addition of the Baker attractions. 



Some Frohman Stars 

Charles Frohman, who has been termed 
with a certain amount of truth "the Napoleon 
of the stage," was once quotgd as saying that 
he "did not approve of stars," but, that as the 
public clamored for plays of the star variety, 
he bowed to their decree. During the last 
ten years Mr. Frohman's enterprises have 
reached enormous proportions. He "controls" 
seven or eight theaters in New York, and at 
least four in London, while his traveling com- 
panies number fully a score. 

He has had many of his productions rejected 
by the public at the cost of thousands of dol- 
lars to his bank account, for Mr. Frohman is 
' always optimistic. Money expense is not 
reckoned when a new piece is to be staged, 
and the theater-going public has come to look 
upon him as a man who, commercially speak- 
ing, gives good value, even if the play in ques- 
tion is not suited to their taste. The acting 
and stage accessories are uniformly good and 




the interest is stimulated by the appearance of 
one, who, according to the manager's opinion, 
has earned his right "to star." 

Has Had Many Successes 
But although Mr. Frohman has had his 
failures, he has also had his many triumphs. 
The earliest and undoubtedly still the most 
successful of his stars, (and by successful we 
mean of course "money-makers" which like- 
wise implies the endorsement of the public) 
are John Drew and Maud Adams. The latest 
is Ethel Barrymore. The list also includes 
Otis Skinner, always an actor of intense earn- 




JOHN DREW 



ETHEL BARRYMORE 

estness and skill ; William Gillette and William 
Crane, as well as a dozen others in various 
forms of tragedy, comedy or musical di- 
versions. John Drew has nearly always had, 
of late years, the benefit of a London produc- 
tion on which to draw his comparisons before 
making his own appearance in the stellar part. 
However, New York likes him, and he is 
feted when he is "on the road," and that satis- 
fies his manager. This season he seems to 
have scored another winner at the Empire 
with "My Wife," a Parisian light comedy of 
a mock marriage. It will come to Rochester 
about Easter time. 

Otis Skinner is still busy with his rehearsals 
of an English version of one of the great 
Parisian successes, "La Rabouillaise," which 
will be seen here under the title of "The 
Honor of the Family." It is a romantic play 
of the Napoleon period, after a story by Belzac.

EVERY FRIDAY 



Peter Pan Coming Again 

Miss Maude Adams starts out on thi road 
again nexl week with "Peter Pan," which she 
will continue to use until the early part of the 

new year. Rochester will again have a chance 
to see this quaint, though somewhat childish, 
musical play. Early in January, Miss Adams 
goes to London, where Mr. Frohman will 
feature her in a new production "The Jesters." 
.Miss Barrymore is traveling again with a 
repertoire of her previous successes, and is 
drawing big crowds everywhere. It is under- 
Stood thai a new Clyde Fitch play is now ready 
for her. and she is also to be seen this season 
as "Rosalind" in "As Von Like It." 



The Merry Widow 

September 27th and 28th are the days set 
by Henry W. Savage for the Rochester pre- 
sentation of Franz Lchar's comic opera, "The 
Merry Widow." It will be given its American 
premiere at Syracuse on the 23d and is sched- 
uled to reach New York on October 14th 
where, from all reports, an enthusiastic wel- 
come is awaiting. "The Merry Widow" is 
an importation but Mr. Lehar. no doubt would 
object to having his opera classified as an 
"English" importation. It was first produced 
in Vienna at the Theatre an der Wien and 
scored a success. Leipzig soon heard of its 
melodious music and extended a welcome no 
less cordial than that of Vienna; and a short 
time sufficed for London to become ac- 
quainted with the "Siren Waltz." 

Little or nothing has been told of the book 
up to the present writing except that the lines 
are good and the lyrics above the average. 
If "The Merry Widow" is really worthy, as 
we have reason to believe, all concerned in 
the production will be given full meed of 
credit. It matters little whether or not Mr. 
I. char is to become a rival of Johann Strauss 
or a successor to Jacques Offenbach. Real 
comic opera is in demand and if Franz Lehar 
and his librettist can produce it they will be 
received with open arms. 

Louis F. Gottschalk will direct the or- 
chestra, and the principal comedy role will be 
in the hands of Robert E. Graham, well known 
to Rochester theater-goers; while Frank Casey 
and T. J. McCarthy will assist in the fun 
making. J. Louis Mintz, last season with 
"The Belle of Mayfair," will be the tenor; 
and Charleworth Meakin, of the same com- 
pany, is cast for the baritone part. The prima 
donna role has been allotted to Ethel Jackson ; 
and important parts will he taken by Estelle 
Bloomfield and Frances Cameron. 

Willy Saville is cast for the semi-romantic 
singing role of "Danilo." With Miss Jack- 
son's assistance he will interpret the famous 
"Siren Waltz" song. Mr. Saville is an Amer- 
ican, better known abroad than at home. He 
studied with Victor Maurel and Lucien Fou- 
gere of the Opera Comique, Paris, and made 
his first appearance on the stage at Nuremberg 
in the title role of Faust. Since that time he 
has been heard in Dresden, St. Petersburg, 
and Riga ; and from all reports should prove 
successful in light opera. 



Psycho-Physical Culture 

PENELOPE GLEASON KNAPP 

Practical psycho-physical culture is not in 

tended for any one class of people. It is fc .r 

all. It is truth, and all should understand it, 
because truth introduces men and women to 
themselves, and sends them on tours of in 
vestigation through worlds previously un- 
dreamed of. 

In every nook and cranny of the newly- 
discovered countries they find wide ini 
and incomparable beauties; also at the same 
time they become conscious of new traits of 




OTIS SKINNER 

character both within themselves and others. 
They become sensitive to surroundings and 
conditions. Their own faults grow more and 
more pronounced, while the faults of their 
friends and humanity in general suddenly 
seem less noticeable. They find some good 
quality, some inspiring influence, emanating 
from nearly every one with whom they come 
in contact. 

In every fragment of nature they see some 
bit of beauty. In each animate creature they 
come to recognize the same divine breath, and 
when this truth is understood and established 
the dawn of a new existence has opened its 
portals! The hitherto dormant fires of life 
have ignited within their souls, illuminating 
their pathway and sending the searchlight of 
conscience to the very depths of their being — 
for there and there only may we read the 
secret laws of nature and learn to obey their 
every precept. 

Those who live in harmony with divine law 
inspire confidence. They radiate health and 
good cheer. They are adaptable under all 
conditions. They are temperate in all things. 



LVOld t" -imism, and cultivate optimism. 
They appreciate themselves and the wondrous 
wealth at their command. They do not feel 
themselves to be either miserable sinners or 
crawling worms of the dust. They know 
i Ives to he children of the light, and 
act accordingly. They look up to themselves, 
because they arc in tunc with divine law. 

If we would have our fellow men look up 
to us, we must first look to ourselves. We 
must set a value upon ourselves and strive 
to live up to its standard, before the world 
will accept us for our true worth. 

Because we appreciate ourselves, it does not 
follow that we are egotistical or inflated with 
an over abundance of self-esteem. 

Self-appreciative people stand erect; how- 
ever, not aggressively so. There is no sug- 
gestion of a "chip upon their shoulder." They 
speak in a well-undulated voice, through which 
rings the tone of sincerity. Their gestures, if 
any, are expressive of the emotion or thought 
which prompted them. Their whole being 
tends upward. They walk and talk and move 
as if buoyed up by air. They are consistent. 
They seem a living embodiment of that ex- 
pressive bit of scripture: "If I be lifted up I 
shall draw all men unto me." 



Congratulations 

Ludwig Schenck — "I have seen Every Fri- 
day and am very much pleased with it. I 
know it will be acceptable to Rochester." 

Margaret Townsend Tagliapietra, New 
York City. — "Every Friday promises to be a 
credit to its publishers and a welcome addition 
to Rochester's public. My sincere appreciation 
for your charming new weekly."

ROCHESTER, N. Y., SEPTEMBER 20, 1907 



Why Henley is Barred 

It is unfortunate that so many editorial writers who have seized 
the opportunity to denounce the authorities of the Henley regatta 
for "slamming the door in the face of all foreign crews hereafter," 
have done so without fully acquainting themselves with the real 
facts of the case. In the first place, foreign entries are barred only 
for the year 1908 and this step was taken solely for the purpose of 
enhancing the rowing competitions which will be held in connection 
with the international Olympic games next July, which games prom- 
ise to furnish the most remarkable sporting carnival in the world's 
athletic history. As the rowing races will be contested over the 
Henley course and within a few weeks after the usual regatta, the 
Henley stewards, in furthering the interests of the Olympic games, 
decided to suspend the rules regarding the entries of foreigners for 
reasons which seem potent and logical enough to the man of average 
intelligence. 

Fully twenty-five nations will have their athletic representatives 
in London next summer and at least half of them will be repre- 
sented in the rowing races ; so, had they been permitted to compete 
in the Henley regatta, the interest in the subsequent contests for the 
Olympic prizes would have been very materially decreased. It is 
well to notice that the Belgian crew, the present holders of the 
Grand challenge cup, fully acquiesced in the decision of the Henley 
stewards and it would not be altogether surprising to hear before 
long that the Henley regatta is to be abandoned altogether in 1908. 



Dictators of Fashion Speak 

Fashion-ridden men and women after countless sleepless nights 
and days of intense anxiety may now resume their serenity of every- 
day life, whatever that may be. The dictators for both sexes 
have spoken at last! Place mix dames, we welcome the fiat of Miss 
Elizabeth A. C. White, President of the Dressmakers' Protective 



Association of America, that curves will be unfashionable and hips 
impossible in winter styles for women. "The stylish figure" Miss 
White declares "will be one without hips, a straight line figure. It 
is all in the corset." Miss White also adds that "well dressed women 
on winter afternoons will wear demi-tailored skirts of gray, lavender, 
reddish purple and light blue, black coats, waists of net embroidered 
in the color of the skirt, with partly mushroom hats, trimmed with 
orchids, morning glories and roses." What Miss White says always 
"goes," so the fine points at issue may be considered settled for some 
months to come at all events. 

As for man, mere man, who bought a $100 dress suit of the 
conventional black material last February but has been fretting and 
fuming since the rumor went forth a few weeks ago that blue 
cloth would be dc rigcur for evening clothes this winter, he once 
more breathes easily, for no less an authority than King Edward's 
tailor announces emphatically "no change" in the material or style 
for evening dress. "The best dressed men" he continues "are those 
who have worn practically the same kind of clothing for years and 
will continue to do so until any radical change is forthcoming. It 
is only the incompetent dresser who studies the fashion plate." For 
all of which, much thanks. 



To the Man "Too Old" 

"Nothing can compensate for the loss of ambition or hope in 
man." 

"There are many illustrious names which may be cited," says 
Samuel Smiles, "to prove the truth of the common saying, 'It is 
never too late to learn.' " You are not a minute too old to study 
advertisement-writing. 

The man of mature years has the advantages of experience and 
wisdom back of his arguments in talking to an employer or to the 
public — his words carry weight, his ideas are respected. 

Dewey, unheard of years ago, waited sixty years for his chance. 

Franklin was fifty before he fully entered upon the study of nat- 
ural philosophy. 

Sir Henry Spelman did not begin the study of science until 
he was between fifty and sixty years of age. 

Sir Walter Scott was unknown as an author until he was in his 
fortieth year. 

Affiere was forty-six when he began the study of Greek. 

Dr. Arnold learned German at an advanced age. 

Watt did not start to learn French, German and Italian until 
his forty-second year. 

Handel was forty-eight before he published any of his famous 
works. 

Goldsmith spoke of himself as a plant that flowered late. 

Gladstone was only at his best after his fiftieth year. 

Grant, a tanner, at the age of forty-three said life was a failure 
— then the war broke out — and so did Grant. 

Sheridan was called a dunce by his tutor and was not heard 
of until his fortieth year. 

Wanamaker was not too old to start a new business in a 
strange city in his fiftieth year. 

Pulitzer, in the forties, was not too old to attempt to build up 
a broken-down newspaper — the New York World. 

Thousands of others were not too old to teach the lesson that 
"To him who is ready, the chance is never gone." 

Napoleon said, "There shall be no Alps." Have you the will? 
Make a start. 



H 



EVER Y FRIDAY 



Scope of This Magazine 

The first issues of E\eiu lumw have brought to us many 
words of praise .■in<l some suggestions. We are pleased to have 
both. Interest in the new publication is active and is constantly 
increasing. There are various reasons for tin's, chiei ol which, per- 
haps, is the fact that it is different 

A word at this time seems necessary as to the scope ol this 
magazine. Does it follow, because in every other ease when the 
reader picks up a weekly publication he expects to find therein the 
same class of matter, that this one also must be of that kind? Not 
at all. Every Friday is planned upon original lines. It is unlike 
any oilier local weekly in the country. It is not a story paper, a 
newspaper nor a monthly magazine for circulation throughout the 
United States. All of these fields are fully occupied; there would 
seem to he little excuse for adding u« the representation. 

Every Friday occupies a field of its own. It is an illustrated 
weekly magazine for Rochester and Western New York. That is 
all; hut it is all that. It is not a fiction magazine; the news-stands 
are groaning under the weight of such magazines; hut there is only 
one Rochester weekly. That is whj it is different and that is its 
raison dfetre. It contains fiction, 1 Ut it contains much more — that 
which no other magazine has. 

The reader who is looking for stories may find them in a hun- 
dred publications; but for magazine matter especially relating to 
Rochester, illustrated articles on local fact which is stranger than 
fiction, he must read Every Friday. 

For the women Every Friday presents departments on Society, 
Music, Drama, Fashions, Physical Culture and educational work. 
For the men there are departments on Motoring. Politics. Finance, 
Commerce and Current Comment. For the general reader there are 
Fiction, Recreation, Yachting, Golf, Football and illustrated feature 
articles — all pertaining directly to Rochester and Western New 
York. The little men and women have also been remembered. 

We court a comparison of Every Friday with any local illus- 
trated weekly in the country. 



Mayor Cutler Will Run 

In response to a petition, upon which the name of no politician 
of prominence is found. Mayor Culler has announced that if the 
republicans see lit to renominate him he will waive personal prefer- 
ences and stand for a third term. 

This clears the local political situation because it is not doubted 
that the republican leaders will he glad to have Mr. Cutler head 
their ticket. 

While politicians might have it otherwise, no slate or national 
issue is involved in a municipal election. The only issue is: Shall 
Mayor Cutler's administration he approved and his policies con- 
tinued? 

The democratic claim is in the negative. 

Who is better fitted to defend the Cutler administration than the 
mayor himself? 



Could'nt be Trusted 

'You and l'arsells don't seem to he very good friends, nowa- 

"Xo, Charley borrowed a live of me last week." 

"Didn't he return it ?" 

"Yes— that's what makes me suspicious." 



Our Town 

li is tin- same with a city as with a person; to he of intere i it 
nuisl posses individuality. Hut its individuality should not he 
hased on mere ecentricity, on crooked stn-cis or the way its citizens 
mispronounce certain words, We should seek to eliminate pecu- 
liarities thai bul serve as marks of backwardness in civic progress. 
If a custom, however, to say the worst of it, is simply different from 
what they do elsewhere, why should it not Ik- retained? A short 
lime ago some good people of Rochester wanted to discontinue the 
ringing of tin- Citj Mall hell for fires because it is not the way they 
do in certain other cities! Doubtless the same persons object to 

the "Four Corners," "South Park" and the "Brick Church." They 
would have more reason on their side if they criticized one- street for 
having so many aliases, as Exchange street. State street and Lake 
avenue. 

We rightly pride ourselves on our fine streets, well-shaded by 
day and well-lighted at night. That is the kind of individuality that 
counts. Then we have a park system that is distinctively line. Rut 
in some of the very things for which we give ourselves the most 
credit there are chances for improvement. We beautify Highland 
Park and yet let the Pinnacle, the highest hill in the city, be cut 
down for the gravel it contains. There is no view of the city so 
fine as that from the Pinnacle, nor is there so cool a place on a 
hot summer day. Its purchase for a park has been advocated but 
not enough people seem interested in the project, and so some day 
there will not he any Pinnacle. Every year there are more launches 
and canoes on the upper river. Why are there not as many on the 
lower river which is far more beautiful? Because we find it cheap 
to dump our sewage there. In former years it was a favorite haunt 
for pleasure parties, but now it is shunned. Charlotte residents 
are protesting against the draining of our sewers into the river and 
if they are successful they may actually force us to make the most 
beautiful place in the city lit to visit. 

One of the hopeful signs for municipal progress is the increasing 
number of manufacturing firms which are putting up buildings and 
laying out grounds that beautify our streets.

Hamlet's Tomb Once More 

In a "special cal le" from Copenhagen, a Rochester morning 
paper announces, in all apparent sober earnestness, that Dr. Maur- 
ice Egan, the United States Minister to Denmark, has just "visited 
Hamlet's tomb at Elsinore and made studies of the old fortifications 
and ramparts which it is supposed were erected at the time Shakes- 
peare lived in Klsiiiorc." 

We thought the fact bad been sufficiently exploited by this time 
that the "tomb" of tin mythical Danish prince owes its origin to the 
ingenuity of the thrifty burghers of Elsinore who saw in its erec- 
tion another scheme for annexing the good money of gullible globe- 
trotters. But the announcement that "fortifications and ramparts" 
were erected for the benefit of the bard of Avon "while he lived in 
Elsinore" comes as a startling piece or double piece of news which 
will lend to open fresh controversies among the supporters and 
detractors of the most marvelous of playwrights.

Campbell came out from Scotland to Roch- 
ester only last March but he has already made 
a record for himself over this course with a 
card of 36, though Stronnar, his predecessor, 
has claimed to have gone the round in 35. 
Campbell is a man of pleasant maimer and a 
thorough student of the game in theory as well 
as practice and has quickly established himself 
as a favorite at Oak Hill. 




Professionals Play To=Day 

Rochester golfers are promised a rare treat 
to-day and to-morrow, when Alexander Smith, 
the former Open Champion, and Gilbert 
Nichols, will play two matches at 18 holes 
each, this afternoon at Oak Hill, and to-mor- 
row afternoon on the Genesee links in South 
Park. These professionals put up a remarkable 
game at thirty-six holes on the Woodland 
(Mass.) course last Saturday. They were 
tied, 73 each, after the first round and the end 
of the second round found them again on even 
terms. Two extra holes were played, and 
Nichols, by a supreme effort, secured first 
money for himself by one up. All local play- 
ers who want to see all the fine points of the 
game exemplified, will endeavor to be among 
the crowd that will follow the men round the 
links to-day and to-morrow. It is due to the 
efforts of Edward Engel of the Genesee Club 
that the matches have been arranged. 



Notes 



ALFRED CAMPELL 
The club's professional addressing his ball. 



Arnaud Massy, the Frenchman, who won 
the British open championship in June, has 
been back in England for a couple of matches. 
At Skegness J. H. Taylor defeated him by 3 
and 2 in 36 holes, Massy scoring two seventy- 
eights and Taylor 75 tnd 76. Massy's poor 
work on the green's cost him the purse, but 
a few days later he beat Herd at St. Anne's 
in brilliant style. 

John Montgomery Ward is the most hard 
working and studious of golfers who have 
started the game late in life. His baseball 
career left him in grand shape physically, and 
he says he will never be content until he 
reaches championship honors on the e 
lie was in line form in the recent tourney on 
the Ekwanok (Vt) links, meeting Fred. Her- 
reshoff in the final the game was in doubit 
until the last hole was reached, the Garden 
City man winning eventually by one up. Ward. 
however, received some consolation by taking 
the gross score prize for the open handicap.

Little Men and Women 



Children are liltlc men and women and should 
be treated as such. Their wishes should be 
consulted and their ideas and opinions 
countenanced whenever and wherever it is 
possible to do so. Children should never lie- 
told that they are unattractive or stupid or 
mean. Remarks of such a nature produce a 
depressing effect upon miniature minds. 
Neither should children be made to feel them- 
selves in the way. Children who are con- 
stantly fretted at and ordered hither and yon 
grow morose and hard, or bashful and cring- 
ing, according to their temperament. Conse- 
quently they soon come' to undervalue 
themselves. Little folk should be taught that 
they have a right in the home and in the 
world, and that their every act, thought and 
word is of importance. 

Children are interesting. Even ordinary 
children possess that mystical charm of unex- 
pectedness. For this reason they create 
wonder; and wonder, is always conducive to 
growing interest. Children seldom, if ever, 
do the things we expect them to do. They 
are full of surprises and outbursts of origin- 
ality. They are constantly on the alert for 
knowledge. They ask questions, not out of 
idle curosity, but because their intellect is ex- 
panding, and they desire to know and under- 
stand the whys and wherefores of what is 
taking place around them. It should never 
! e a cross for parents to answer, so far as 
they arc able, the questions of their little ones. 
They should not look upon it as a duty, but 
a pleasure. Pray, how can a child grow in 
wisdom save by asking questions and receiv- 
ing intelligent answers? 

Children are exceedingly sensitive, and their 
little hearts often ache painfully through the 
unguarded remark or act of a careless parent 
or friend. Their troubles are as real to them 
as ours are to us, ami oftimes far more so, 
because they have not learned by experience 
that troubles like bubbles break and vanish. 
"Grown ups" are cither stepping stones or 
stumbling blocks for little folk, because the 
latter in their innocence and ignorance of life 
as it really exists, are prone to idealization, 
and it rests within the power of the indi- 
vidual thus idealized to bring either happiness 
or misery to the child who has thus honored 
them. 

I once knew a little boy whose joy bubble 
was suddenly burst by the coming of a baby 
brother. His mother, whom he loved almost 
madly, made the fatal mistake of telling the 
little fellow that his "nose was out of joint." 
Instead of instilling a new interest in her 
young son's life and teaching him the lesson 
of united and harmonious love, she made him 
feel himself to be an outcast, and taught him 
to look upon the new baby as a usurper. That 
boy was never the same again, even when 
years had passed and he became a college 
graduate and subsequently a practical business 
man, he always maintained that his mother 
never loved him as much after his brother's 
birth. It was but a passing remark, but it 
east a shadow which ever after dimmed a life. 



I Ince when traveling I heard a mother tell 
her little girl that if she did not keep still 
and stop asking questions she would throw 
her out of the car window and let the wheels 
grind her up. That woman possessed ab- 
solutely no right to the sacred name of mother. 
I shall never forget the far away wistful ex- 
pression which swept that little girl's face as 
she lapsed into silence, a silence so prolonged 
as to be most pitifully impressive, and yet 
that mother went calmly on reading a trashy 
novel, all unmindful of the little suffering soul 
beside her whom she had so cruelly wounded. 
I have often wondered of what that child 
was thinking while she remained so still with 
her big blue eyes fixed upon space. I can but 
believe that she was wishing that she would 
hurry and grow up. and get away from her 
mother. All "grown-ups" ought to be most 
considerate of children, — they are little men 
and women, and their young hearts are as 
sensitive to any thrust of cruelty or inatten- 
tion as their bodies are to the cut of a knife. 

We should all strive to stand well with 
children, and that can be done only by gaining 
their respect and confidence. 

On Local Gridirons 

HUGH A. SMITH 
That followers of the strenuous pastime in 
Rochester will be amply entertained this sea- 
son becomes more and more patent as the local 
squads begin to assume definite form. Coach 
Stroud has had the "Varsity hopefuls out for 
light preliminary work all the week, although 
college only opened yesterday. Candidates at 
both high schools have been active for nearly 
two weeks, and it is now possible to obtain 
some sort of a line on both "prep" school ag- 
gregations. 

All three elevens open their regular schedules 
to-morrow week (28th) — the 'Varsity with 
Syracuse University at the Salt City, and West 
High with Canandaigua Academy on Culver 
Field. East High will provide the other half 
of a local doubleheader on the latter gridiron. 
The Orientals originally had this date filled 
with Geneva High school, but that institution 
has since cancelled the game. Another op- 
ponent will be found within a day or two. 
Coach Stroud's Opinion 
In their final disposition of men it is prob- 
able that both the 'Varsity and Fast High will 
slmw one or more shifts among the regulars 
of last fall. In discussing his probable style 
of play this season, Coach Stroud, of the form- 
er team, recently said: 

"It looks as though the game would be more 
open than ever this year, with the amendments 
which have been adopted. If I can develop a 
punter and find ends who can get down the 
field in good shape, we shall aim to keep the 
ball in the air more than we ever have before." 
To this end he proposes to move Pierce, last 
year's center, out to one of the wings, where 
his track ability should stand him in good 
stead. This will depend, of course, upon one 
of the other line men showing promise at the 
pivotal position. Candidates for end are not

itic tackle, will be on the squad, the per 
1 of the line must be somewhal problem 
atical. Vale Parce, the speedy Fairpori hack, 
is likely to find a tacke berth on account of his 
weight. 

Cam mx Ward May Sb ift * 
At East 1 1 i ti 1j Captain Ward, himself, is 

the veteran who will probablj make the -i 

radical shift. Coach Sullivan would like to 
utilize his strength and aggressivent ss either at 
tackle or in the backfield; and, as Doran, 
and McFadden are all eager for his old job 
at center, the change seems probable. Krafts 
will probablj be moved i<< guard from tackle, 
and Donnan, the husky Greigsville recruit, 
may become his running mate. Romig will 
doubtless run the team again, with Silvernail 
as his understudy. Other backfield pos ibilities 
are Hughes, Bohler, Johnson, I. ruin and 
Dunn, with Van Hoesan and Nagle, of course, 
if the) -ta\ on the squad. 

While the final line-up is still somewhat of 
a riddle, with Coach Sullivan groping for the 
solution, il does not present the same handicap- 
which Bramley faced last fall. Main veti 
are hack, and spirit is running high. 

The line-up of West High is not occa 
ing as much speculation as at the other local 
institution-, as most of last year's -tars have 
returned. The exceptions are Hagaman and 
"Midge" Carroll, who are not in school. 
While these are distinct losses to the squad, 
there is a Strong nucleus left, and there are 

many candidates working for the vacancies. 
It i- to be hoped Captain Bernhart's knee. 
which he damaged last season will stand the 
strain of another campaign. 

A feature of the local season is the pn 
of graduate coaching. At East High. Sullivan 
i- being assisted by "Eddie" Zimmer, an 
alumnus both of the high school and the 
'Varsity. Fred Gladwin, an old 'Varsitj end 
and center, will al-o render assistance to his 
alma mater. "Punk" Hagaman ha- been do- 
ing the preliminary at West High assisted by 
Carroll.

Institute ha- been unable to do much 
with the moleskin in the past, because of in. 
ability to get men out. conditions are m ire en-

EVERY FRIDAY 



FINANCE 

l Wall Street Bureau 
-< of Every Friday 
I September 19, 1907 

The investment situation has heen over- 
shadowed this week by the remarkable de- 
velopments in the copper trade, as evidenced 
by the reduced quotations for the metal and 
the tremendous liquidation in copper shares. 
Hundreds of small investors who some weeks 
ago bought Amalgamated Copper on H. H. 
Rogers' statement that the 26 cent price for 
the metal should be expected to continue, have 
become alarmed by the 10 cent fall in the price 
of the metal, which the Trust itself now recog- 
nizes. The result has been that thousands upon 
thousands of weakly margined accounts in 
Amalgamated Copper have been sold out, with 
the result that a large contingency of well 
meaning investors have been arrayed against 
the powers that be in Wall street. 

Position of Small Investors 
Although much has been Said about the trade 
necessities, there can be no doubt that the 
action of the Amalgamated management is 
extraordinary under the circumstances, and 
may have a disturbing influence upon the 
stock market for several weeks to come. 
When you get an army of small investors 
arrayed against the market you have a rather 
formidable opposition to deal with. The fact 
is, however, that the stock market as a whole 
has been placed on a safer basis by this week's 
break than it has at any time since the March 
panic. Small investors have a better show to- 
day to pick up bargains than they have had 
any time this year. They are doing this in 
considerable numbers. It is the small man 
with money who is now virtually in control 
of the investment situation. If- he is able to 
pay for ten, twenty, fifty or a hundred shares 
of stock he stands to win large profits within 
a few months. This applies to most of the 
high grade investment shares which now yield 
a most generous investment return. 

For the out and out speculator the market 
is one in which he should play for quick 
profits. There is not sufficient buying power 
in Wall street this week to give much of a 
bull market, and until the copper situation is 
thoroughly adjusted it will be impossible for 
the big operators to broaden the inquiry so 
far as the outside public is concerned. The 
best railroad stocks, however, are being picked 
up in small blocks by people who can afford 
to pay outright for what they purchase. Be- 
sides this there is a large clientage of what is 
known as the "wire trading public," which 
finds it advantageous to buy to-day and sell 
to-morrow, or conversely, as the case may be. 
Selling of Industrials 
Many of the high grade industrial shares 
have been depressed this week by the talk of 
a trade reaction. This has been notably true 
of the steel shares which have been insistently 
sold on the theory that prices would work 
lower during the last quarter of the year. 
Much of this selling has been for short ac- 
counts representing poor speculative opera- 
tions. It may be questioned whether any large

number of bona fide investors have parted 
with their holdings in the United States Steel 
preferred on this basis. Those who know the 
industry well say that it is still fairly prosper- 
ous and is certainly in no danger of reflect- 
ing sufficient depression to affect the stability 
of the 7 per cent, dividend which Steel pre- 
ferred now pays. The same may be said of 
the two per cent, yearly now paid on the com- 
mon shares, although it is not likely that under 
present conditions there will be any advance 
in that rate immediately. 



Many sections of the market would seem to 
be heavily oversold, and there is a feeling in 
well informed quarters that long before Wall 
street may wake up some morning to find the 
Standard Oil crowd and the other influential 
factors in possession of much of the floating 
supply of the high grade dividend paying 
shares. There can be no doubt that the money 
situation is improving, and that the movement 
of foreign exchange still favors the resump- 
tion of gold imports by this country before 
long. Much is still heard of the next presi-

dential election, and the possible complications 
that may grow out of the renewed di mission 

of the tariff question and the attiiude of 
Federal and state officials toward the corpora 

lions. 

There is every reason, however, to believe 
that these factors will adjust themselves satis 
factorily before long, and that the market out- 
look as a whole will be helped by it. While 
public confidence is still unsettled it must not 
be forgotten that the recuperative power of 
the American people is enormous, and that 
with the revival of speculative enthusiasm, the 
buying capacity of the public at large will he 
found to have increased immensely by reason 
oi the conservative attitude which most people 
have followed since the crusade against the 
railroads have made people hesitate about buy- 
ing the shares of what are notoriously profit- 
able properties. 

Local Stock Exchange 

The United States Independent Telephone 
situation continues to be the center of inter- 
est in local financial circles. Developments 
during the week looking toward the reorgan- 
ization of the company have been not only 
rapid but also of an important nature. In 
fact, the most difficult work of the Reorgani- 
zation Committee has been completed after 
several weeks of constant thought ami unre- 
mittant labor. A sufficient percentage of the 
outstanding bonds have been turned in to as- 
sure the success of the reorganization plan. 

This news naturally caused a general im- 
provement in sentiment in the financial dis- 
trict. It was reflected in more active trading 
conditions in the Rochester Stock Exchange, 
where the telephone embarrassment has for 
so long exerted a depressing influence. A de- 
mand seemed to spring up for the U. S. I. 
Telephone bonds and an advance occurred in 
the price. The feeling prevailed in some 
quarters that if the company were reorganized, 
the bonds would probably be worth more. 
There is little doubt that with this proposition 
satisfactorily adjusted a material improvement 
would take place in local securities. 

While conservative brokers say it would not 
be safe to say that an upward movement is 
going to he witnessed in the near future, it 
cannot be gainsaid that the tendency of late 
has been toward recovery. Quotations for 
most stocks show advances over the low levels 
established in August. Sales of Eastman 
Kodak common have been made at prices bet- 
ter than those which prevailed before the stock 
sold ex-dividend. A quiet investment demand 
has also been noticed for the preferred. Other 
Stocks have been bid up without attracting am 

considerable amount for sale. Pfaudler stocks. 
without tempting sales, while neither common 
for instance, have appreciated in market value 
nor preferred shares of Curtice Bros, have 
appeared on the market despite bids tor them. 
Most of the other local securities have dis 
played a general!} steady undertone. 

"There is one advantage in writing for pos- 
terity." remarked the Genesee Valley poet. 
"Your theories may be rejected, but your 
manuscript cannot be returned."

Where Harriman Founded Fortune 

Railroad Magnate Reported to Have Purchased Wolcott Iron Mines 

Known to Him as Early as 1875 



Residents of northern Wayne and Cayuga 
counties are anxiously awaiting the conlirma- 
tion of a report, which has just leaked out, of 
the purchase of the iron ore miles at Sterling 
by E. H. Harriman, the railroad king. Should 
this reported sale prove to be a fact, it means 
that that section will undergo a transforma- 
tion such as has never been anticipated by 
the most optimistic enthusiast, as the ore de- 
posits of Sterling are known to underlie the 
entire region for many miles both east and 
west. In early days the ore was extensively 
mined at Wolcott, but for half a century the 
business has lain dormant awaiting the master 
hand of some financial giant to unlock the 
treasure. That a deliverer in the person of E. 
H. Harriman should be the one to undertake 
the task is not a surprising fact when it is 
known that the great financier made his first 
railroad deal in this section and laid the 
foundation for his colossal fortune. 

In the early seventies, the Sodus Point Rail- 
road, running from Sodus Point on Lake On- 
tario, for 35 miles south, suffered financial 
reverses and was sold under foreclosure in 
1875. The entire funded debt was less than 
$1,000,000, and Harriman, having been married 
in northern New York, was acquainted with 
the situation, and secured control of the road. 
He sold it out to the Northern Central, and 
in this, his first railroad deal, made an ex- 
ceedingly profitable investment. 

Mines Sold For $2,500,000 

Now that an effort is being made to open 
the extensive ore deposits of this section, it 
seems but fitting that this same person should 
invest a portion of his largely increased mil- 
lions in this same section, for the sale price 
of the Sterling mines is said to have been 
$2,500,000. 

No question exists as to the presence of 
high grade ore in immense quantities. The 
only difficulty has been to get capital interested 
in the matter. Wolcott, at an early date, was 
known far and wide for its ore and blast 
furnaces, and while the great iron industry 
of Pennsylvania was in its infancy, tons of 
pig iron were being made at the blast furnaces 
one mile north of that town. 

The stratum is of the Clinton group and is 
the same deposit of ore that was worked in 
the early mines, and it is the same formation 
which is now being worked at the famous 
Birmingham, Alabama, mines. 

Remarkable History 

The ore industry of Wolcott has had a long 
and remarkable historv. as it was first dis- 
covered here about 1820 by Levi Hendrick, 
one of the first settlers. He found an out- 
cropping about one mile north of Wolcott vil- 
lage. He kept his discovery a secret, although 
two other men knew of it, and hastened on 



horseback through the forest to Geneva, where 
the land office was located. He secured a 
grant of land from the government covering 
all the sections supposed to have ore. Re- 
turning home he met the two other men, who 
had been with him when the discovery of ore 
had been made, but they were late in getting 
title to the land. 

Soon after blast furnaces were erected and 
iron manufactured on a small scale. About 
1838, Isaac Leavenworth, a broken down mer- 
chant of Binghamton, went to Wolcott, and 
entering into partnership with Hendrick, they 
began the manufacture of iron. They found 
the ore of superior quality, but it contained 
salt, and the crude method then in vogue of 
fluxing with soil would not act on the salt- 
laden ore. Consequently they followed the 
stratum of ore about five miles farther east, 
near where the present mines are being 
opened; and the ore was found to contain not 
a less percentage of salt. It was mined and 
hauled over the hilly woods to the furnaces. 
The business prospered from the first and 
grew to large proportions, the owners soon ac- 
quiring fortunes. A large foundry was erected 
to manufacture almost everything that could 
be made of cast iron. Although the nearest 
shipping point was thirteen miles away, at 
Clyde, and the outlet the Erie canal the business 
grew. The great West was just opening, and 
thousands of plows, marked "Wolcott Plows," 
were shipped to the early settlers of Michigan, 
over the Erie canal to Buffalo, and then up 
the lakes. Immense numbers of large cauldron 
kettles were cast as well as the smaller kettles 
for kitchen use. Stoves were also made in 
the style of Benjamin Franklin's improve- 
ment. 

The business continued to thrive until about 
1860, when Hendrick and Leavenworth died. 
This, in connection with the fact that the 
Civil War was then raging and there was an 
air of uncertainty prevailing, the great cost 
of handling the ore and the increased expense 
of fuel, made a halt in the business. The 
property passed into the hands of Cannon & 
Wise, who continued operations until 1866, 
when they failed. A Mr. Gould, of Seneca Falls, 
then leased the plant, and operated it until 
1869, when the last run was made. The old 
furnace was torn down for the old iron and 
stone it contained. The stone was drawn to 
Wolcott and used for the foundation of many 
of the brick buildings now lining Main street. 
Huge mounds of slag are now the only evi- 
dences which mark this one-time hive of in- 
dustry, and even these are almost lost in the 
covering of vegetation. 

Recent Development 
After the closing of the furnaces in 1866 
nothing was done to revive the industry, and 



no interest taken in the matter until about 
fifteen years ago, when a company was in- 
corporated in Wolcott to bore for gas. A test 
well was sunk for 2,000 feet, but gas was not 
found in sufficient quantities to pay. How- 
ever, one thing was revealed by the ven- 
ture, and that was that the original stratum 
of ore which came to the surface at Furnace 
village had a decided dip to the south, and 
at the place where the test well was drilled, 
was 200 feet below the surface and about eight 
feet thick. No one took hold of the matter 
until something over a year ago when a com- 
pany was incorporated at Albany to develop 
the ore beds. The company included some 
of the best known politicians of the state, the 
officers being: President, Hon. James S. 
Whipple, state forest, fish and game commis- 
sioner; vice-president, W. H. Lyon, state 
printer; treasurer, B. H. Davis, deputy state 
treasurer. 

Scores of test wells were at once sunk on 
the farms about Sterling, and ore leases ob- 
tained on all lands for many miles around. 
Ore in large quantities was found and every 
modern appliance was installed for stripping 
the ore. The first carload of ore was shipped 
in April, and since then the work has prog- 
ressed rapidly. No one knows the extent oc- 
cupied by the beds, but they reach far beyond 
Wolcott. 



Vagaries of Public Opinion 

( Continued from page 11) 

when the sentiment of the Eleventh ward was 
for W. J. Carey for Municipal court judge, 
but the down-town leaders declared for 
Thomas E. White, and Ward cast the votes 
of the Eleventh ward delegation for White's 
nomination, and he won out. 

Had Mr. Cutler not signified that he might 
run again, it is presumed that the republicans 
intended to ignore these charges by Ward 
and make their campaign on the brilliant 
achievements of Governor Hughes. With Cut- 
ler and Ward the opposing candidates, it is 
difficult to see where state politics can be in- 
jected into the city election. "Two years 
more of Cutler or two years of Ward" will e 
the issue presented to the voters in Novem- 
ber. 

Taking this view, Public Opinion can pro- 
ceed to make up its mind which it will clmos-. 
But it need not lie awake at nights worrying 
over whether the election or defeat of either 
will insure elimination of either the republican 
or democratic organization. 

Both Mr. Cutler and Mr. Ward are organ! 
zation men by nature and political training. 

Is it conceivable that either would accept 
an independent nomination in the event that 
his party convention set him aside?

Very sensibly, the fashions for children and 
young girls are much more simple, and the 
tendency to over-dress the small tots has en- 
tirely disappeared. The proper boarding 
school outfit consists of two school dresses, a 
handsomer dress for church wear, several lit- 
tle evening frocks and one real "party dress." 

School dresses are prettiest in Russian 
model, made in serge or any plain material, 
patent leather belt and turn-over collar. Some 
of the new suits in this model show bretelles 
over the shoulder, which makes a pleasing 
change. Sailors suits are always stylish and 
are made of serge and generally dark blue 
in color, braided in light blue, black or red. 
Collars on these suits are much larger and 
sleeves fuller with turn back cuffs. 

Skirts of all two piece suits are pleated, 
with exception of light weight silks, etc. 

Knickers are worn by mostly all school 
girls, made of same material as dresses. These 
are extremely comfortable and convenient, as 
well as a great saving in laundry bills. 

For church wear nothing is prettier than 
the Scotch plaids being shown. One seen re- 
cently was in green and black small check, 
pleated skirt, and waist surplice in front show- 
ing corded vest of red broad cloth. On each 
side of surplice front was band of the red 
cloth on which were small black crochet but- 
tons. Crush belt of check material ending in 
small rosette at back finished this natty little 
costume. Another of red serge is worthy of 
mention. Pleated skirt, waist consisting of 
three box pleats back and front, entire blouse 
being quite full. Collars, cuffs, tabs on front 
of blouse and belt were of white mohair edged 
with narrowest galloon and was extremely 
stylish. 

A particularly pretty model for a girl from 
ten to fourteen years is in the new shade of 
tan chiffon broadcloth. This material being 
so soft, the skirt is gathered and has three 
tucks above the wide hem. The waist, which 
blouses slightly in front and is cut square in 
the neck and with mandarin sleeves has clus- 
ters of small tucks across the front, between 
which are designs embroidered by hand in 
worsted. The neck as well as edges of man- 
darin sleeves were finished with bands of 
brown broadcloth of darker shade and all 
was worn over a guimpe of soft silk, the same 
• color as the dress. 

For an older girl is a stunning broadcloth 
suit in the new shade of geranium red. made 
with box coat which was quite long and with 
slashed sides. All was bound with wide black 
silk braid. The novel part was the treatment 
of the braid, which was apparently all in one 
piece, extending up front, around collar, down 
and around bottom of jacket to the slashed 
:sides, at which point it once again went up, 
Following seam and over shoulder to bol 



of coat, where it continued in this manner 
the entire way around. Jacket was closed by 
three black silk frogs. Sleeves being finished 
with the silk braid. Skirt was pleated in 
double box pleats and trimmed with the black 
braid. With this was worn a mushroom felt 
hat, the exact shade of red, faced with black 
velvet, with a large bow of velvet ribbon set 
well out on the brim. 

The jumper dresses are best adapted for 
evening wear and are pretty and dainty. Nile-

seen in children's coats, but for genuine com- 
fort nothing equals the chinchilla garments 
which are so stylish and wear so beautifully. 

The brims of hats for girls of all ages 
droop, being wired to any tilt, found most 
becoming. Little girls wear Normandy bon- 
nets and look quaint and demure in this new 
head gear. 

Shoes, as I mentioned before, will be much 
higher and come either buttoned or laced. For 
dress wear these boots are made with patent 
leather vamps and cloth uppers to match suit 
or coat. They are particularly stylish and 
quite the newest fad. 

Children's gloves are the same as for their 
elders, and are of heavy dog skin or chamois 
for ordinary wear, and white heavy kid for 
dress wear. Woolen gloves will be worn later 
on quite as much as in the past, both in white 
and colors. Cotton lisle are good school 
gloves and wear well. 

Tan shoes and stockings are extremely styl- 
ish for school wear, but black is more correct 
for other occasions. White shoes and stock- 
ings will also be worn as much as ever but 
for dress occasions only.

"I guess so," answered Edward, with a piti- 
ful attempt to be jocular. 

"What do you mean?" 

"I mean that we won't go on this train. I 
- -I left the — the money in my other clothes. 
They're in the trunk, and the trunk is on that 
confounded train." 

Mrs. Willington gasped. Then she qualified 
for a crown and harp by saying never a word. 



Local Industries 

Recent figuring on the shoe output of the 
world advances the Rochester market from 
sixth to fifth place. There are 10,000 opera- 
tives in the shoe manufacturing industry in 
Rochester. The factories number seventy with 
a small army of salesmen on the road. Roch- 
ester shoes are sold in twenty foreign coun- 
tries, including India and Japan. 

The clothing industry of Rochester is con- 
tinually increasing its output by enlarging its 
facilities. Over eight million dollars are in- 
vested in this business by the manufacturers 
and three million dollars are annually expended 
in wages. 

In nearly all the other industries of our city 
there has been a steady increase in capacity 
and output and Rochester maintains its reputa- 
tion for not only making a first-class grade of 
goods, but as well for having a greater diver- 
sity of manufactures than any city of its size 
in the Union. — Chamber of Commerce Report. 



Explanations Unnecessary 

Wife — "Now, John, you'll be real good, 
won't you?" 

Husband — " 'When you're in Rome you 
must do as the Romans do.' " 

Wife — "I didn't know you were going to 
Rome ; I thought you said Syracuse." 



An Athletic Clergyman 

In clerical and lay circles of all religious 
denominations. Rev. James William Denness 
Cooper will be heartily welcomed when he 
comes to take up his residence in Rochester 
next month as curate-in-charge of Christ 
Church, for his recent appointment will entail 
this position owing to the continued bad health 
of the rector, Rev. Dr. Andrew J. Graham. 
The latter, we regret to hear, is hardly likely 
to be seen in the pulpit before Christmas, and 
he sailed yesterday for Europe in the hopes of 
regaining his strength thereby. 

It is just ten years ago since Mr. Cooper 
was received into holy orders, and he has 
fully proved himself to be a man who stamps 
"thoroughness" on whatever he undertakes. 
After serving six years in the diocese of Tor- 
onto, where his convincing and earnest church 




REV. J. W. D. COOPER 



work gained him a host of friends, he accepted 
the rectorship of St. Mathias, East Aurora, N. 
Y., and everywhere his tact and urbanity have 
left their mark. This has been especially the 
case with the young men with whom Mr. 
Cooper has been brought in contact, owing to 
his fondness for sharing in their recreations. 

"All out-doors," as he puts it, appeals strong- 
ly to Mr. Cooper, and in any manly exercise 
tending to create a healthy mind he may be 
considered much interested, and often a par- 
ticipant. "Moderation in all things," is his 
motto, and he rejoices in an occasional game 
of tennis, at which he excels. He is also an 
ardent fisherman during his holidays, and at 
Trinity University, Toronto, he was on the 
football team from his freshman year. It is 
not to be wondered, therefore, that his in- 
fluence and force of example extend far be- 
yond the pulpit and the "church social," and 
that his advice and companionship are sought 
on a variety of subjects.

What Women are Doing Toward the Idealization of a City 



Rochester women maintain many soi 
with varied objects, but among them all the 
work of one, an organization which h:is no 
ulterior motive, whose aim is to be vivifying, 
unifying and an inspirational force in all thai 
makes for civic righteousness, is attracting 
particular notice — the Woman's Educational 
and Industrial Union. It might all be sum> 
med up in the sentence, "These women stand 
for a better Rochester." 

A few of the aims of the organization, which 
have been accomplished and which air de 
sired ate the securing of a woman on the 
school hoard, which has come to pass; manual 
training in the public schools; summer sewing 
schools and regular vacation schools. The 
ofltimes dreary school rooms have been beauti- 
fied by the adoption of excellent pictures and 
statuary. This movement, having its incep- 
tion with the union, has been carried on by 
the schools themselves and has become far- 
reaching. The art committee has extended 
the fame of the schools of Rochester through- 
out the country. The making attractive of 
bare spots in the school grounds has done 
much toward increasing the joy of the 
children's lives. The idea of instilling into 
the youthful mind the love of flowers, and 
what is more, the art of cultivating them, 
will in time have a lasting effect. 

A paragraph taken from the 1903 year hook 
is of interest: "Among the things hoped for 
is an increase in the salaries of our grade 
teachers. They do not receive enough to do 
justice to themselves and their work, and 
our best educated girls have to go to other 
cities to get the remuneration to which their 
services are entitled." The union desires free 
text books and distributing libraries, especially 
in the schools in outlying districts. 

These are but a few of the things which 
this body of women believes will make Roch- 
ester nearer an ideal city. The success of the 
Woman's Educational and Industrial Union is 
assured, for in its second article of the con- 
stitution, it states as its excuse for existence, 
the increase of fellowship among women, in 
order to promote the best practical methods 
for securing their educational, industrial and 
social advancement. No such a movement as 
this has been known to fail. Any woman 
may become a member of the union and be 
entitled to all its privileges for the current 
year by the payment of the annual dues. 

The officers of the society are Mrs. W. \ 
Montgomery, president; Mrs. M. T. L. Gan- 
nett, first vice-president; Mrs. Max Landsberg, 
second vice-president; Mrs. William F.ast- 
wood, third vice-president; Mrs. John H.

ThinKing of Him 




The world seems large and wide and long, 
And love is sweet and sure and strong, 
And life is filled with smile and song, 
Thinking of him. 

The years go by in rhythm fleet, 
Like linked bars of music sweet, 
To which glad time my pulses beat, 
Thinking of him. 

All thought is good and great and true, 
All skys are fleecy-white and blue, 
And heaven itself is grander, too. 
Thinking of him. 

My soul's fine tendrils, like a vine. 
Reach upward 'round this strength to twine. 
And tender trust and love combine. 
Thinking of him. 

Of him, whose heart is strong and true, 
My little hoy, with eyes so blue. 
I ask no sweeter thing to do, — 
Thinking of him. 

In all the largeness of the thought 
With which a mother-love is fraught, 
The common loves of life are naught. 
Thinking of him. 

When Life's bright sun has set for me. 
When his clear face no more I see. 
Through all eternity. I'll he- 
Thinking of him.

CURB AND CORRIDOR 

George F. Slocum, formerly prominent in 
local democratic politics but who has rather 
held aloof from Rochester squabbles since he 
filled the position of deputy attorney-general 
under the late John Cunneen, was the author 
of the resolution recently adopted by the Mon- 
roe County Bar association setting forth that 
the legal fraternity deprecated the judiciary 
taking active part in partisan politics. This 
has caused George a deal of good-natured 
banter, all the judges of high and low degree, 
adducing as a reason for their disinclination 
even to vouch for the good character of appli- 
cants for permission to try civil service exam- 
inations : "I fear George Slocum would not 
like it." Slocum heard of these happenings, 
and took them good-naturedly. 

But even his unfailing sunny disposition 
balked at the latest incident. A Wayne county 
lawyer came to Rochester to secure signatures 
to a petition asking Governor Hughes to ap- 
point Judge Sawyer as temporary successor to 
the late Justice James W. Dunwell. Mr. 
Slocum favored Judge Sawyer and hence was 
surprised when the Wayne lawyer reported 
that Judge Delbert C. Hebbard, of the Munici- 
pal court, had declined to sign the Sawyer 
petition unless "George Slocum will certify 
that he does not consider it a violation of his 
Bar association law." 

Slocum at once sought out Hebbard. "Say, 
Del, a joke is a joke but this is going too far." 

The irrepressible Hebbard did not smile. 

"How's that George?" he asked. "Are 
Municipal court judges not high enough in 
the judicial scale to fall within your inhibi- 
tion?" 

But Slocum had fled in disgust. 



News has reached Rochester that former 
Assemblyman Charles V. Lynch, of Buffalo, 
is to contest for a senatorial nomination 
against Senator Samuel J. Ramsperger in one 
of the Erie county districts. Charlie is an 
old Rochester boy, having been raised in what 
was once familiarly termed "Dutchtown," In 
early manhood he went to Buffalo and joined 
the police department, rising to the rank of 
captain. Political vicissitudes forced him out 
of the police force and into active politics. 
He served two terms in the assembly at Al- 
bany and his ready wit and whole-souled dis- 
position made him a prime favorite. He was 
a great wag and delighted in poking up new 
members to think they were called upon for 
set speeches in explanation of harmless meas- 
ures. When the new member had adjusted 
his cravat, cleared his throat and squared his 
shoulders, Lynch would remark: 

"Mr. Speaker, I am perfectly satisfied with 
the explanation;" and the new member would 
be squelched before he opened his mouth. 

One day there was a great hubbub in the 
chamber and a fussy member from New York 
cried out: "Mr. Speaker, if we cannot have 
order, I shall take the next train for home." 
Lynch secured recognition from Speaker 
Nixon and brought down the house by mov- 
ing that "the sergeant-at-arms be directed to 
purchase and deliver forthwith to the gentle- 
man one single trip ticket to New York."

"Love in a Cabin — Two Hundred Years Old" 



The Special Province of This Store 

Beind FIRST in Everything 




SINCE this store was destined at its 
very beginning to carve for itself a 
place at the very front of local mer- 
cantile enterprises; a place that would inure 
to the credit of Rochester ; a place that 
would tend to make this city the nucleus for 
the traders of all Western New York, seek- 
ing to obtain merchandise both new and up- 
to-date — it has been a necessary part of its 
performance to be first and foremost in 
everything that tended to your interest. 

So that, in the rounds of the calen- 
der, when such events as those pertaining 
to Fashions come into view, it is expected 
and anticipated that this store will be the 
first to give entre' to what is newest and 
best. 

We plan to that end — carefully, con- 
scientiously, considerately. 

By the expenditure of a little more 
energy and a little more money, we are 
able to bring to Rochester the Fashions — 
now — that a month hence you will be 
called upon to see in other places. Let 
your own discernment of style and beauty 
bear us out in this statement. 

Look through the Millinery that is 
here to-day, along with the Gowns and 
Wraps and Waists ; the Furs and the 
Robes ; the Silks and Dress Goods. Car- 
ry in your mind's eye the selection of styles 
as you see them ; then look for the coun- 
terparts later on, elsewhere — heralded as 
the "latest of the late." 

Of course, no army can have more than one leader — and it is so with the army of fashion here 
in Rochester. 



Windows here that reflect newness and 
before sundown. Yet the leadership goes on 
and position. 

When later Fashions come — if they do 
trend of the season is shown in present styles 

Since no argument is so convincing as th 
you — urge you — to make careful comparison, 



beauty in the morning, are mirrored in other showings 
unabatedly and with renewed effort to sustain its title 

— rest assured, they 'will be here first. But the entire 
and the best of all present styles are now here. 

e one that is revealed through the eye itself, we invite 
not forgetting the paramount issue — that of price.

Fish and Game Preserve in Rochester 

FKANK A. WOOD 

The expression, "If the mountain will not come to Moham 
et, Mohamet must go to the mountain," is having a reversal 
in fact within the precincts of Rochester. For years, twice each 
season, Mathias Kondolf, of 14(1 Seneca Parkway, has gone to 
the wilds of Canada to fish. The trip was irksome in many ways to 
Mr. Kondolf and he sot about devising a plan whereby he and 
other followers of [ke Walton might angle for the denizens of 
oilier streams than those under the Union Jack. 

Immediately across the beautiful drive in front of the Kondolf 
home runs a creek whose source is in the town of Gates. A low 
place on the Kondolf propertj seemed to Mr. Kondolf an ideal 
spot in which to locate a fish pond. It was no small task hut 
undaunted by the many obstacles to be overcome, Mr. Kondolf 
constructed a second pond and to-day has both stocked with fish. 

Close to the walk and to the north of Seneca Parkway is one 
acre of water confined within a tile border, flanked by rushes and 
Sags, to lend a natural appearance to the scheme. 

Within this enclosure are fifteen hundred black bass in weight 
from one half to three pounds each. Recently twenty thousand 
chubs were provided to feed the larger fish. A row boat, easy 
seats and a lawn, add to the attractiveness of the spot. • 

To the south of the driveway the second pond contains hull 
heads of goodly size. This reservoir is used as a filter for the 
former and insures a supply of pure water the year through, both 
bodies of water being fed by the creek. Mr. Kondolf wdll con- 
struct a third pond providing Rochester will permit Lake Ontario 
water to be pumped into the enclosure. The object of this is to 
obtain cool water suitable to the life of the speckled trout. 

It is the intention of Mr. Kondolf to establish a preserve for 
wild same and fowl. Golden pheasants have been attracted by the 
surroundings and not long ago a llock of wild ducks settled on the 
north pond. A crane comes ever} day to stand in the more shal- 
low water. 

But it has been no easj task to keep the small fish alive. 

■ majestic king fisher, always shy, hovers over the bed of the

small fry and darts with the rapidity of lightning into the pond, 
soaring awaj with a fish in his hill. Mud turtles, frogs and other 
water loving creatures have sought out the pond, and mosquitos 
have departed to infest other lowlands. 

Rabbits, squirrels and Spanish hares are shown to the visitor, 
the total number of animals making no mean start toward a preserve. 
right in the city of Rochester, and reminding one of the preserves 
along the Hudson. 

"A Thousand Dollar Nickel" 

It was in a New '\ ork cafetiera where customers wait on them- 
selves that I overheard the following little conversation: 

"Just look at these people going to the trouble of waiting on 
themselves, walking from one counter to the other, carrying stuff 
to the table and 'all to save a nickel.'" 

"Well." replied his friend, "that nickle means $15 a year. A 
few years ago I used to do the same thing, and I want to tell you 
that nickel a day meant $1,000 to me." 

"How do you figure that?" 

"Well, simply this: at my age at that time I took out a $1,000 
life insurance policy: the premium amounted to a little over $15 
a year, and I paid this premium by saving that nickel a day. A 
thousand dollars for live cents isn't so had. is it? At five per 
cent, that $15 a year represents the interest on $300. That nickel 
represents the interest of a big round silver dollar." 

Does a nickel appear -o large to you? Do you ever realize 
the power of a penny? Just get stuck down town some winter 
night about live mile', from home with just four copper- in your 
pocket just one more needed for carfare.

Six Governors of NeW York State 



WILLARD A. MARAKLE 



Since 1894, when the republicans regained 
control of the New York state government, 
that party has elected six governors and all 
have been more or less national characters — 
Levi P. Morton, Frank S. Black, Theodore 
Roosevelt, Benjamin B. Odell, Frank W. Hig- 
gins, Charles Evans Hughes. 

Morton was supported by New York state 
republicans for the presidential nomination in 
the national republican convention of 1898, but 
William McKinley carried off the prize. In 
that year the New Yorkers turned to a practi- 
cal politician, Frank S. Black, who had earned 
a national reputation in the Bat Shea episode 
and by redeeming Troy from the Murphy 
democratic machine. Black was elected gov- 
ernor by a plurality rivaling that of Cleveland 
in the Folger campaign. Predictions were 
made of Black's rapid advance to the presi- 
dency. But he was handicapped by a private 
secretary who alienated the corps of legisla- 



instituted the policy of meeting the newspaper 
correspondents twice a day on a footing of 
rare comradeship, discussing with them freely 
and frankly weighty affairs of state. Mr. 
Roosevelt's rare insight into human nature 
was vindicated in the fact that not once in two 
years of gubernatorial life did a newspaper- 
man violate his confidence. 

During his term as governor, Mr. Roose- 
velt did not "drive the politicians out of busi- 
ness," but, as he has done as president, he 
bothered them. So, when the national con- 
vention of 1900 came on, the politicians re- 
solved to "kick him upstairs" and forced his 
nomination for vice-president, an honor cov- 
eted by Timothy L. Woodruff and declined by 
Benjamin B. Odell. Subsequent events, includ- 
ing Mr. Roosevelt's succession to the presi- 
dency, have impelled wonder as to how the 
political map might have been changed if 
either Woodruff or Odell had been named as 



salaries. Direct state tax was abolished and 
other reforms were instituted. 

Despite all this, Mr. Odell was re-elected 
over Bird S. Coler in 1902 only by the miserly 
plurality of 8,000. Perhaps, angered by appar- 
ent lack of public approval, Odell turned back 
to old-time methods, and professional politi- 
cians never had such an inning as they did 
during 1903 and 1904. In the last year of. his 
term Odell defied all proprieties by forcing 
his own election as chairman of the republican 
state committee while retaining his office as 
governor. 

In 1904, the republicans, led by Odell, 
selected as their standard-bearer the late 
Frank W. Higgins, who had served as senator 
and lieutenant-governor for some fifteen years. 
After a fiercely fought campaign, he defeated 
D. Cady Herrick, best styled as a "reformed 
democratic boss." Higgins was an honest 
man, but obstinate in his determination to

'Theodore Roosevelt Fresh From the Spectacular Rough Rider Campaign" 




'Odell Surprised Everybody During His First Term 



tive correspondents and also by his blind devo- 
tion to partisan politics. In the face of advice 
to the contrao', from shrewd politicians of his 
own party, he forced the appointment of "Lou" 
Payn as state superintendent of insurance, and 
also placed upon the statute books a law "tak- 
ing the starch" out of civil service. 

Black had lost caste so rapidly that wagers 
were offered freely that the democrats would 
regain control in the state election qf 1898. 
Then it was that Thomas C. Piatt made one 
of those coups for which he was noted in the 
olden days. Theodore Roosevelt, fresh from 
the spectacular Rough Rider campaign in 
Cuba, was trotted out, nominated and, in a 
closely fought battle, defeated Augustus Van 
Wyck, brother of the first Tammany mayor 
of Greater New York. While governor, Mr. 
Roosevelt developed those traits of political 
shrewdness and adaptability to public senti- 
ment that have made him famous among the 
great heads of nations in the world. He 



the lamented McKinley's running mate in 1900. 

Swinging the pendulum to the other ex- 
treme, the New York republicans nominated 
for governor Benjamin B. Odell, Jr., admit- 
tedly the shrewdest of the many practical pol- 
iticians trained up by Thomas C. Piatt. Odell 
was in the prime of health, he was boss of his 
county, had been a representative in congress 
and chairman of the republican state commit- 
tee. Despite a storm of protest from the re- 
formers at the nomination of a professional 
politician, Roosevelt's great popularity carried 
Odell through by a rousing plurality over John 
B. Stanchfield, the democratic standard-bearer. 

Odell surprised everybody during his first 
term. He disappointed the reformers by tak- 
ing the graft politicians by the nape of the 
neck and enraged the professional ringsters, 
who imagined they were to come into their 
own, by expelling them from the state capitol. 
Useless commissions were abolished and sine- 
cure office holders were made to earn their

started out to dethrone Odell, but stopped

candidate, Merritt, friend of the Adirondack 
power corporations. Notwithstanding the hon- 
esty of the Higgins administration, the poli- 
ticians were in a state of blue funk when 
Hearst burst upon the gubernatorial stage last 
fall, and they submitted supinely to the nomi- 
nation of Charles Evans Hughes, who leaped 
into national fame by his merciless inquisition 
of the insurance magnates. 

With all the personal prestige of Hughes, 
with all the force of the national administra- 
tion at its disposal, all the republican state 
ticket went down in defeat save Hughes alone. 

Hughes is the marvel of the age, politically 
speaking. With all the politicians of his own 
party bitterly opposed, with a legislature openly 
hostile, he has forced upon the statute books

Her RWal Monument 



By ALMA PENDEXTER HAYDEN 



She had called on his sister but had not 
found that lady in. 

The children were much in evidence, how- 
ever, and, as she expected to become their 
aunt in the fall, she joined them in the nursery 
and made them shiver delightfully with hear 
stories wherein the bear nearly caught the 
little boy and girl. 

"I like 'em but they scare me," declared 
Robert, honestly turning his brown eyes upon 
her. 

''They aren't as good as Hannah," protested 
Mildred. 

"Who is Hannah?" inquired Miss Denning 
curiously, for she had never heard James or 
his sister mention any one by that name. 

"She's a girl and we like her, don't we 
Mil?" explained and asked Robert. 

"I like her best of any one Uncle Jim tells 
about," replied Mildred stoutly. 

"And does Uncle Jim like her, too?" in- 
quired Miss Denning carelessly. 

"A-ha," nodded both young gossips. 

"He sees her every day and writes mam- 
ma about her," said Robert. 

"He writ a letter and said how he was going 
to take her picture and send it to us," added 
Mildred. 

Miss Denning waited a few minutes longer 
for Mrs. Jackson, but she had lost all desire 
to romp with the children. She wondered 
who this Hannah was and why James had 
never mentioned her. He had intended to re- 
turn to New York the week before but had 
written he should be detained in Haverhill 
another week. 

At the time of his writing she fancied he 
had found material for a story in the old 
colonial town, for James was a rising young 
writer. 

Xow, as she remembered his last letter, it 
seemed to her as being a bit distant and re- 
served for James. Besides, she was of a 
jealous temperament, absurdly so, she had ad- 
mitted to herself, but, being so and unable 
to help it, this all made her very uncomfort- 
able. 

The children's remarks about his taking the 
picture of this young lady and the fact that 
Mrs. Jackson had not mentioned it, worried 
her. 

"Mamma says as how Uncle Jim is writing 
about Hannah in a story, and he's going to 
take us to see her sometime." said Robert, as 
Miss Denning rose to go. 

"She's got curly hair and she's awful smart 
and you couldn't do the things she can, could 
she, Rob?" said Mildred aggressively. 

"Nope," said Robert. "I asked Uncle Jim 
once and he laughed and said he guessed not." 

Dollie Denning was sweet and womanly in 
her tastes, but as she said to herself, possessed 
of no over powering accomplishments. She 
played the piano well and sang in a sym- 
pathetic, feeling sort of a way. 



She was really a home k' rl, breezy and in- 
vigorating, with a feminine touch and a dash 
of fun that made her, as her brother said, "the 
life of the house." 

She reasoned to herself — this Hannah may 
be a finished musician, a brilliant conversation- 
alist, and be able to do a score of things I 
could not — but surely — that ought not to make 
any difference with James — who professes to 
love me so fondly — who has said, "Dolly, I 
love you because you are just your own sweet 
self." 

"Of course this Hannah may be a great 
beauty," she thought as she looked in her mir- 
ror that night and beheld the image of a red- 
lipped girl and an oval face, the bluest of 
blue eyes, and a low brow with its crown of 
flaxen braids. Her white and perfect teeth 
showed for a moment as she smiled at some 
pleasant thought, then she grew sober and 
troubled, for the day had brought no letter 
from James. She conjured up hundreds of 
Hannahs of all complexions and personalities, 
only each was very charming and sure to win 
the average masculine heart. 

On the next day came a brief note from 
James in which he said he was in great haste 
as he had an appointment with his camera. 

He hoped she was well, etc., etc. That was 
all. Ah ! he was going to take this young 
lady's picture just as the children had said. That 
was his appointment. Miss Denning was a 
proud and sensitive girl, and would not for 
worlds have let James or his sister suspect 
her perturbation. 

She had always told herself that the man 
of her choice must be such as to require 
no explanations for any thing, and with tear- 
ful demonstration she decided to anticipate 
his possible fickleness by returning his letters. 

So with a sad heart she tied up the pack- 
age, not forgetting to enclose his latest photo- 
graph. 

James, in Haverhill, was astounded to re- 
ceive his correspondence with a curt note for 
the return of the writer's letters. 

Two days before his sister had written that 
Miss Denning did not seem just the same and 
mildly inquired if there had been any quarrel 
between them ; but he had thought it all his 
sister's imagination and counted on his ap- 
pearance in New York to make everything 
right. 

"Thrown, by jove !" cried James, "and in 
such a shabby manner, with no warning or 
explanation. Why, I had banked on that girl ! 
Well, the family pride must back me up, < >, 
Hannah, give me some of your courage!" and 
with this prayer to his female divinity, James 
tied up the letters and consigned them to an 
express office. Then he devoted himself to 
completing his work and vowed he would 
hereafter pass all girls by. If Miss Dennine. 
expected any protestations, she was disap- 
pointed. James did not even ask for an ex- 



planation. His family pride was standing by 
him. 

"If he had planned on receiving his dismis- 
sal he couldn't have acted more heartless," 
ibbed as she opened the package of fool- 
ish hopeful letters. "He expected me to find 
out about this girl and he wasn't even sur- 
prised. Mrs. Jackson must have known all 
about it and probably she's pitying me now." 

After that she did not call on Mrs. Jackson 
and, on meeting her on the street, passed her 
by with a cool little nod, for she felt she had 
not been treated fairly. Mrs. Jackson was 
nonplussed until she received a brief letter 
from James simply stating that he had made a 
mistake and that Miss Denning was not for 
him. 

"The idea!" she said to her husband, "just 
see what James has written ! he needn't pre- 
tend he isn't in love with Dollie Denning. He's 
probably jealous over some imaginary slight, 
just like a man. She's a lovely girl and if he 
gets taken in with his next, it will serve him 
right. Why can't men appreciate the real 
article I" she added impatiently. 

"They do," said Mr. Jackson looking on her 
with a smile. "O dear, well I won't make 
any more plans for James," she sighed. 

"Why don't Auntie Doll come here any 
more?" asked Mildred. 

"Well she needn't," said the ungracious 
Robert, "She ain't as nice as Hannah, 'cause 
Uncle Jim told us all about Hannah and Aunty 
Doll couldn't kill bad people with a toma- 
hawk." 

"And only think, mama, she didn't know 
anything about Hannah and I had to tell her," 
said Mildred. 

"Yes dear," said her mother wearily. 

"Huh ! you didn't tell her about the hatchet," 
corrected Robert. 

"You didn't either," defended Mildred. 

"What is this about Hannah?" demanded 
Mrs. Jackson her eyes lighting up with inter- 
est. 

"O we just told her how nice Hannah is 
and how Uncle Jim is going to take her picture 
and write you all about her," explained Mil- 
dred. 

"Was that the day she called when I was 
out?" asked Mrs. Jackson straightening up. 

"Yep," assented Robert, "and then she didn't 
play with us no more." 

That night Mrs. Jackson wrote a long let- 
ter to her brother. 

Next morning while crossing the park Miss 
Denning met Robert and Mildred walking 
hand in band. 

"Man-.a said as how we was to tell you that 
Hannah always had a hatchet in her hand," 
said Mildred, pertly. 

"And killed Injuns." added Robert. 

"And a lot more," said Mildred, "please 
wait 'cause I can't think what comes next."

EVERY FRIDAY 



Rochester Club Men In Adirondacks 



Cascade Lakes House, in the Lake Placid Region, Frequented by Senator Dunn, 
J. Hungerford Smith, Charles A. Green and Others 



So much has been said and written of the 
havoc wrought in seasons past by sportsmen 
among the game of the Adirondacks that the 
public has perhaps come to regard with sus- 
picion if not with open disfavor, the few 
clubs to be found in the Great North Woods. 
By a process of reasoning not unnatural to 
those unacquainted with the exact situation, 
these organizations have been classed with 
the wealthy owners of some of the great pri • 
vate preserves as land-grabbers of the worst 
type, conducting their operations on the "Pub- 
lic be hanged" policy, and as wanton destroy- 
ers of game and fish. 

In the face of this feeling it is a pleasure 
to be able to point to at least one Adirondack 
club which has the protection, not the destruc- 
tion of game, for one of its chief aims, and 
which is indeed working hand in hand with 
the state, in an endeavor to restore the Adiron- 
dacks to their one time glory as the abiding 
place of big game and the home of the tricky 
trout. 

Such an organization is the Cascade Lakes 
club, which owns a preserve of 1,400 acres 
about ten miles from the village of Lake 
Placid, and of which several well-known Roch- 
ester men are members. Though little over two 
years old, this organization has earned for 
itself the reputation of being the most ag- 
gressive and thoroughly energetic organiza- 
tion of its kind in the whole North country. 
Perhaps that is why the state has relied so 
much upon it, in its efforts to restock some 
of the woods and waters of the Adirondacks ; 
at any rate it is certain that to the experi- 
ments along this line now going forward on 
the club's preserve, the state officials attach 
much significance. 

Has an Ideal Location 

It was because of its many natural advant- 
ages for the conduct of such an experiment 
that the club's preserve was selected by the 
state as one of the spots in the Adirondacks 
best suited for the propagation of elk and 
other big game, and accordingly last winter 
five elk, secured from the Austin Corbin pre- 
serve, through the efforts of Harry V. Rad- 
ford, were released in the Cascade Lakes pre- 
serve. These animals have been seen several 
times since their release and are reported to 
be doing finely. They are being carefully 
guarded against harm, by the wardens of the 
club, and that they will propagate, and thus 
accomplish much toward the restocking of the 
Adirondacks with big game, is the firm belief 
of those who have followed the experiment 
from the start. But it is not the plan of the 
club to let the work of restocking the moun- 
tains go with the liberation of a few elk. In 
addition to the release of more elk this 
winter, it is the hope of the members that 
matters can be arranged to carry out the 



original intention and release also a number 
of moose and beaver. 

James S. Whipple, the forest, fish and game 
commissioner, is a member of the club, and 
to him the club looks for much assistance in 
the execution of its plans in this direction. 
Governor Hughes, though not an active mem- 
ber of the club, is known to be in hearty sym- 
pathy with its aims. He is a close friend of 



Palmer and A. G. Richardson. Included 
among the other present and former state 
officials who are members of the organization 
are Senator Thomas H. Cullen, Hon. James 
B. McEwan, Hon. George R. Malby, Hon. N. 
V. V. Franchot, Hon. John F. O'Brien, form- 
er secretary of state, Hon. E. T. Brackett, 
Hon. S. J. Foley, and Colonel William F. Fox. 
Colonel George W. Dunn, of Binghamton, is 




CASCADE LAKES CLUB HOUSE 



Commissioner Whipple, and spent his vaca- 
tion at the latter's Adirondack cabin on Green 
pond. 

Some Distinguished Names 

The late Governor Higgins was a member 
of the club, which was organized June 5, 
1905, and Julius H. Mayer, the former 
attorney-general, who was a member during 
his term of office, is still on the roll. The total 
membership of the organization is limited to 
SO, and these gentlemen have subscribed $500 
each. Charles A. Green, editor of Green's 
Fruit Crozver, is one of the most active of 
the Rochester members of this unique organi- 
zation. At the annual election recentl}' he 
was chosen secretary, the other officers being : 
President, Wallace Craig Smith, Saginaw, 
Mich. ; vice-president, Judge Francis A. Smith, 
Elizabethtown, N. Y., and treasurer, Hon. 
Spencer G. Prime, of Upper Jay, former state 
senator. 

Charles A. Green and J. Hungerford Smith, 
of Rochester, are members of the board of 
directors, the others being Hon. Spencer G. 
Prime, Judge Francis A. Smith, and Hon. 
Wallace T. Smith. 

Other well-known Rochester members of 
the club are. Senator Thomas B. Dunn. G. S. 



also one of the members. Horace Nye is 
superintendent and general manager of the 
club. 

Many Trout Turned Loose 

In addition to the elk released on its pre- 
serve, the club has this season released in the 
twin lakes from which the organization takes 
its name, 80,000 young speckled trout which 
were raised in the fine new hatchery on the 
club property. These with the 30,000 released 
last year make a total of 110,000 speckled 
trout released in the lakes since the club took 
possession of its preserve. 

The club house, which is located about 10 
miles from Lake Placid, on the road to Keene 
valley and Elizabethtown, was, before the club 
took possession, an Adirondack hotel known 
as the Cascade Lakes house. A more rugged 
and truly picturesque spot it would be hard to 
find. Between towering mountains, rising 
abruptly on either side, lie the twin lakes, 
separated from each other only by a narrow 
neck of land, and even that division is ren- 
dered incomplete by a little trout brook 
through which the watre sof the upper lake 
empty into the lower. Down the rugged face of 
the mountain to the south the Cascade for

Music in the Church 

Church music is a pari of a great religious 
act. and should be regarded solely from that 
point nf view. It is an offering of tin best 
»f have, and is made to God as an act of 
worship. A- such, it is a means of edifica- 
tion more potent than almost anything else, 
anil is a sacred part of worship. 

When the music of the church can quicken 
the emotions and rouse the souls as truly as

the well-reasoned and effectively-delivered ser- 

moii. it is recognized at its true worth. It 
will, if employed with this end in view, be- 
come more beautiful, more effective, and more 
tisi ful as an aid to religious feeling. Music 
in the church should never he considered a- a 
Form of amusement or entertainment for 
special occasions. It should serve the church- 
goer by aiding him in his devotions, and being 
helpful and useful as a means of edification. 

With the organist and choir of the church 
rests an important part of Divine worship. 
They should he composed of men and women 
whose lives and habits of thought are such 
as to put them in sympathy with tin religious 
service, and enable them through their music 
to uplift the souls of the congregation. 

The ideal choir is the one possessing an 
organist of sufficient ability to select tin 
with care, and direct them correcth The 
average congregation wishes to hear music 
that pleases as well as uplifts. With '.'tis in 
view, the organist must use his art bea tifully, 
and in simple forms, if he wishes to ri h the

hearts of his hearers. In this way. he may 
Income the inspiration and guide to many 
souls, and prove himself valuable to his art 
and religion. The true organist who n 
that the simple forms of church music, such 
as hymns and chants, are valued anil bi 
by many of the worshipers, will endeavor lo 
produce these as carefully as the larger music- 
al works, thus making his service helpful, ap- 
propriate and inspiring. 

The hymns form an important pari of wor- 
ship. The preacher frequently builds his ser- 
mon around some well-known hymn, and 
when the organist, choir and congregation take 
up the thread of the address, by singing the 
familiar words and tune, it is with a spon- 
taneous outburst of feeling that is almost over- 
powering. In the hymn tune is the congrega- 
tion's opoprtunity for praise, and as such de- 
serves much valuable attention from the organ- 
ist and choir-master. 

The doctrines of the church arc more clear- 
ly expressed, and more easily remembered 
through 'the use of the hymns than in any- 
other way. for they voice the feelings and 
give expression to the emotions of the heart — 
which deepen and strengthen the religious af- 
fection,. 

Local Music Notes

Week of September 30th: 

Lyceum Theatre — Monday, Tuesday and 
Wednesday, "The Boys of Company B." 
Thursday, dark. Friday and Saturday, 
Sam Bernard. 

Baker Theatre— All week, Klaw & Erlan- 
ger's Advanced Vaudeville, daily 2:15 and 
8:15. 

National Theatre — All week, Miss Cecil 
Spooner in two plays, "'The Dancer and

Cook Opera House — Cruso's Isle, Emmet 
Corrigan, Roberti's Animals, Werden and 
Taylor, Anderson and Goimes, Charles 
Wayne & Co., Camille Comedy Trio, 
Clarice Vance, Kineotograph. 



Last week was not one of the best for the 
theaters, the weather being too warm for com- 
fort a great part of the time. However, all 
attractions were generally well patronized. 
Klaw & Erlanger's Advanced Vaudeville 
opened at the Baker Theater to a good at- 
tendance and played to a steadily increasing 
business. Despite this no appreciable differ- 
ence was noticed in the Cook's regular busi- 



ness, which can be taken as evidence that this 
city will support two theaters of this kind if 
they present good attractions. 

The Lyceum had Marie Cahill for one per- 
formance of "Marrying Mary" Saturday night 
and it proved one of the most pleasing attrac- 
tions of the season. The theatergoing public 
is still trying to figure out why Marie should 
make a one-night stand in our city. Some- 
how we feel that we're outgrowing that sort 
of thing. 

The most important event of the season in 
theatricals locally was on Monday night, when 
Klaw & Erlanger and Henry Arthur Jones 
presented for the first time on any stage the 
latter's latest — and undoubtedly his greatest — 
play, "The Galilean's Victory." Until his last 
production previous to that of this week, Mr. 
Jones had always made his premieres to Eng- 
lish audiences. Upon the initial presentation 
of "The Hypocrites," he honored America by 
producing it in this country, concluding after 
the experiment that our audiences were more 
appreciative and discriminating in taste and 
judgment. Therefore when he again 8ecided

ETHEL D. HOUSTON 
Leading contralto of the "Madame Butterfly" company 

to come to America for the premiere of his 
new play, selecting an American audience as 
a representative audience of the world, and a 
Rochester audience as a representative one in 
America, the honor to our city is two-fold. 
That it was appreciated was shown by the 
capacity first night attendance and the friend- 
liness exhibited both for the play and its dis- 
tinguished author. The play made a decided 
hit, and the critics praised it highly. The 
other Monday night openings were well at- 
tended and the attractions were up to the usual 
standards. Next week we are to see "The 
Boys of Company B" and Sam Bernard. 



SCENE FROM "THE GREAT DIVIDE" 

This stirring and splendidly acted play reaches its 300th performance in New York next Monday. It will be seen in 

Rochester, with the original cast, about Christmas time. This picture shows three of the principals, 

viz: Henry Miller, Margaret Anglin and Charles Wyngate. 



Already Await "Madame Butterfly" 

Although Rochester will not hear "Madame 
Butterfly" until next April, the music loving 
public is already looking forward to the visit 
of the talented company which will interpret 
the Puccini grand opera and the records of 
the principals are already being discussed.

The iiiiii:il performance of this season's pro- 
Hnction will be made in Newark, N I. on 
the 30th inst. 

Manager Savage has four prima donnas for 
me title role all i if « hi im ha\ e been > n 
especial praise for their interpretation. Of 
Rcna Vivienne, one of the American sii 
tin- crtitics declare that no one on the dramatic 
Stage could show more finesse. She de 
Scribed as ingeniously childish in the (ii act, 
pathetically appealing in the second and i 
ally convincing in the third. She embodies 
Cho-Cho-San both physically and mentally, 
Her youth and beauty together with a superb 
oprano voice with rare warmth of tone, has 
made her one of the strongest favorites with 
me public. 

Ethel Dufre Houston, the contralto, who 
has been engaged to play the role of Suzuki, 
the Japanese maid, was a pupil of Bouhy, in 
Paris, when- she studied and sang for several 
years. She was one of the singers Mr. Savage 
signed three years ago for his English Grand 
i Ipera company and sang with .^reat success 
throughout the season, taking such roles as 
Ortrudc, Amneris and Venus. Later she re- 
turned to Paris for further study. Miss Hous- 
ton comes from the well known Southern fam- 
ily of Houston* and is a grand niece of the 
Celebrated Sam Houston. Her home is in 
Birmingham, Ala. 



By the New York Critics 

At the Lyceum — English adaption of Hern- 
stein's drama. "Le Voleur." A stirring play 
which will increase the reputation of Margar- 
et Illington. Kyrle Bellew does something 
more than pose; this time he really shows 
some trace of trying to act. 

At the Hackett — "The Movers." a drama by 
Martha Morton. Moves on (anywhere) this 
week, in spite of fine work by Dorothy Don- 
nelly. "Ought to have been a hook instead of 
a play" is the general verdict. 

At the Madison Square — "The Man on the 
Case." a comedy by Grace Livingston Fut 
Three acts of crisp, bright and clean tun. 
James Lee Finney at last gets a real chance 
and makes good. But it failed to please Xew 
York and started on the road last Monday. 

At the Lyric— James O'Neil in "Virginius." 
Warm welcome to a worthy actor who has 
been kept too long off Broadwaj and too long 
On the road with "Monte CristO." 

At the Majestic — "The Spell," a drama by 
Samuel Shipman. An "affinity" play originally 
written in Yiddish and given here b) I 'avid 
Kessler who comes from the East side to 
make his debut in English. Not a great suc-

Troubles in Foreign Travel 

In these days of international courtesies, 
when every country throws open its doors to 
those who desire to tour and spend their 
money, it is remarkable that the stringent laws 
governing motor tourists are still allowed to 
remain in force. 

Germany is the worst offender in this re- 
spect. A tourist going there must pay, in ad- 
dition to the customs deposit, a tax of $10 for 
the privilege of riding over German roads for 
30 days. If he exceeds the thirty-day limit, 
he comes under a new scheme of taxation, 
which exacts money for each horse-power. 
The result has been to drive tourists out of 
Germany into Austria. A tourist once ex- 
ceeded the limit by two days and had to pay 
$60. 

To tour France, the chauffeurs photograph 
must be on the license, and a duplicate photo- 
graph must be sent to the French authorities. 
If you are a member of a club they take care 
of this, but, if you don't happen to' be a mem- 
ber, the difficulties are many, as the prefecture, 
from which the license is obtained, can de- 
mand birth certificates, proof of domicile, and 
all other documents associated with red-tape 
officialdom. If you neglect to get a French 
license you are liable to spend a night in jail. 
The customs deposit on a $5,000 car is $125, 



and if you leave the country without getting 
your money back the government does not re- 
turn it. 

Austria has a very large customs duty. 
Tourists have to deposit $300, and, if you go 
there without Austrian gold you are in trouble, 
as the customs officials will refuse to take any 
other currency. As for Italy, after the cus- 
toms deposit, you may remain in the country- 
three months, but at the end of this time you 
must pay a tax of $120. 

Unless a motorist is a member of the 
automobile club he must carry about $1,500 
in loose money for customs deposits on 
an extended European trip. Each car that 
goes into England must be registered, and a 
tourist must pay for registration, for license, 
for the chauffeur, and in addition is liable for 
other taxes. 

Tourists entering Canada must bond their 
machines with costs about nine dollars for 
each, buy two license numbers, one for the 
front, the other for back of each car, must 
deposit $25 and lose many hours of valuable 
time. Fortunately for Rochester motorists 
who wish to tour in that country, the Roch- 
ester Automobile Club has made arrangements 
by which any member may do his bonding 
with the secretary of the club, at a saving of 
about four dollars, and is not compelled to 
make any deposit. The permit is sent to him, 





HORSE SHOE IMBEDDED IN A TIRE 

and, upon arriving at the frontier, he passes 
through without trouble or loss of time. This 
permit is good for the entire year, passing in 
and out as often as one wishes. 



On Scottsville Road 

A young man; his best girl; his first machine; 
Scottsville road : "Do you think the automo- 
bile will displace the horse?" asked the young 
woman. 

"It will," answered the nervous young man. 
as he gazed down the road and saw one com- 
ing, "if it ever hits him." 



The Commercial Vehicle 

Advocates of automobiles for business pur- 
poses offer the following points upon which 
the motor-propelled commercial vehicle makes 
its claim for superiority over the horse-drawn 
conveyance to a progressive age and people. 
It is cheaper for transport. It is quicker in 
delivery of goods. It has a larger range of 
action, and is a first-class advertising medium. 
It can work at its maximum all day and every 
day. A single car can replace as many as 
seven horses. It only takes fuel when actually 
working, and the fuel used is to do useful 
work, and the work done is a measure of the 
cost. The speed can be accelerated in case 
of need to at least four times that of a horse, 
and can be maintained with greater ease and 
certainty, as it only requires half the room in 
traffic, and it is easily seen that if motor-traffic 
were universal in our large cities the street 
obstruction problem would be solved and 
blockades cease to exist. 



Two of the greatest causes of excessive 
tire expense are over-loading and over-speed- 



Do not allow oil or grease to accumulate 
on your tires. They cause decay. 



LOW SPEED UP THIS HILL 



Do not persist in running your car along 
street car rails, as it grinds down the edge of 
the tire.

EVERY FRIDAY 



Negotiating Hills 

When approaching a hill of about il 
cent, grade, accelerate the motor and tin car 
will travel up liill at about fifteen miles an 
hour, When striking a stiff grade and it be- 
comes necessarj to change gears, allow the 
speed of the car to come down t" the propor 
tion of the speed "!' the gears, but do no) let 
the motor conic i" almost ;i stop before chang- 
ing. 

" Knocking" in the Engine 

A possible cause of knocking in the engine 
is poor compression. If there is little or no 
compression, the inertia of the piston and rod 
will lift them, at the top of the stroke, as far 
:is the slack in the crank and wrist pin bearings 
will permit; and when the explosion comes it 
will take up this slack rather violently. This 
generally occurs at moderate motor speeds, 
when the charge has had time to leak away and 
the spark is not so tar advanced as to make 
the combustion gradual instead of abrupt. 



Gas Lamp Brilliancy 
A not uncommon cause of gradual failure 
of the gas lamps to burn with their original 
brilliancy is progressive clogging of the small 
copper gas pipes with scale. A great many 
complaints directed at the generator are prop- 
erly chargeable to this cause. The scale ac- 
cumulates principally at the ends of the pipes, 
and a good remedy is to cut off the pipe a 
few inches at each end and braze extensions to 

them. 



Like Marrying 

Motoring is like marrying. You are, or 
ought to be, reasonably certain of doubling 
your joys; but also there are contingencies and 
you are not certain, even after you have tried 
it a while, just what you are going to get. 
Each is a mixture; not all bad. or it would be 
intolerable; not all good, or it would be su- 
pernatural. Each is exposed to liabilities. 



Meaning of Horse=Power 

There are many persons who misunderstand 
the meaning of "horse-power." The term is 
purely relative and irrelevant when it is ap- 
plied to the horse itself. It is a figurative term 
indicating a source of energy which is suffi- 
cient to raise 33,000 pounds .me foot in one 
minute. 

Or Even a Lemon 
When you are out on the road and your dry 
cells go "dead." stop at some farm house and 
secure vinegar and a nail, with the nail make 
a few holes in the zinc and pour in some of 
the weak vinegar and they will revue to bring 
you home. 

Police Traps at Oneida 

The town authorities of Oneida are main- 
taining a police trap on the eastern c ! e of the 
town, on the straight road going east. It is 
necessary to use this road, as othi r ' ighways 
are torn up at present.

*Big Changes in Football Tactics 

Great Developments Are Looked For This Year, Now That the New Game Has Passed 

Through the Experimental Stages 



GEORGE H. BROOKE 



The hardy football warriors have flocked back 
to college from all parts of the country full 
of fire and energy and thirsting for the gore 
of their rivals. The coaches and tacticians, 
who have been thinking over the new rules 
all summer long, now have their campaigns 
planned. The great football public is more 
interested than ever before. In other words 
the season of 1907 is off with a Rah ! Rah ! 
Rah ! 

Next Wednesday Yale opens' with Wesleyan, 
Perm opens with Villa Nova, and Harvard 
opens with Bowdoin. Princeton three days 
later lines up in her first game against Stevens. 
The Indians and Cornell have already opened 
their seasons with small games. A great 
many of the smaller colleges have also begun 
their seasons. 

Some of the Programmes 
Yale plays Wesleyan, Syracuse, Springfield 
Training School, Holy Cross, West Point, 
Villa Nova, Washington and Jefferson, and 
Brown in this order in preparation for her final 
great matches with Princeton at New Haven 
on November 16 and Harvard at Cambridge 
on November 23. 

Harvard meets Bowdoin, Maine, Bates, 
Williams, the Navy, Springfield Training 
School, Brown, the Indians, and Dartmouth 
in her course of preparation for Yale. 

Princeton meets Stevens> Wesleyan, Buck- 
nell, Washington and Jefferson, the Indians 
(in New York), and Amherst, before her 
Yale game at New Haven of November 16. 
Comparisons May Be Made 
By this, it will be seen that both Harvard 
and Yale play the Springfield Training School 
and Brown, Princeton and Yale both meet 
Washington and Jefferson, thus giving a 
chance for a line on the teams. Yale's sched- 
ule is easier than that of either Harvard or 
Princeton, but it must be remembered that 
Yale has two great games to wind up with and 
Harvard and Princeton each only one, namely 
Yale. It is interesting to note that Yale plays 
West Point early in the season, on October 19, 
and on the same day Harvard plays the 
Navy. 

Perm has on her schedule, in the following 
order, Villa Nova, Bucknell, Franklin and 
Marshall, Swarthmore, Ursinus, Brown, the 
Indians, Lafayette, and then a two weeks' rest 
until she journeys out to meet Michigan at 
Ann Arbor on November 16; and then nothing 
'till Thanksgiving Day when she plays Cor- 
nell her annual game in Philadelphia. 

The Indians, the great football money-mak- 
ers, have bitten off a huge chunk in their 
schedule this year. It is nothing less than the 
following: Albright, Lebanon Valley, Villa 



Nova, Susquehanna, Perm State, Syracuse, 
Bucknell, Perm, Princeton, Harvard, Minne- 
sota and Chicago. In all they will probably 
play before 200,000 people. They have "Pop" 
Warner back from Cornell to coach them, 
they have scoured the Indian Territory for 
plenty of good material, they like the new 
game, and they will either know football or 
be human wrecks when they get through that 
schedule. 

Cornell has several easy games and then 
Princeton and Swarthmore after which she

nown, who will criticize, exclusively for EVERY 
FRIDAY, the work of the big college

lavs off for her final Thanksgiving Day game 
in Philadelphia. 

There are only minor changes in the rules 
this year. The halves have been lengthened 
5 minutes each ; the forward pass has been en- 
couraged by taking off some of the penalty for 
an illegal or incompleted pass; and there is 
another official to help enforce the rules more 
strictly. 

The experts of the gridiron anticipate some in- 
teresting developments this fall in tactics under 
the new regulations. Last year the hew game was 
in a more or less experimental stage and the 
Vale tacticians evolved the most practical plays 
along the line of very long and high forward 
passes. No one denies that the possibilities of 
the forward pass and on-side kick are very 



great, so therefore we may well expect not only 
new plays but a greater degree of daring and 
skill in their execution. The new on-side 
kick rule, which makes it legal for the play- 
ers on the kicking side to get the ball the in- 
stant it hits the ground, surely puts a great 
premium on scientific placing punts. In fact 
this rule should make our kicking now more 
scientific than that of either the English or 
Australian games. 

Yale presents her regular system of coaching 
this year. And it is a system far excellence. 
The Yale football organization is run on the 
lines of a trust. Harvard has tried to "bust" 
it but has not succeeded. Walter Camp is 
president and Frank Butterworth, vice-presi- 
dent of this football "corporation." 

Princeton, Penn, and Cornell are working 
again with their systems smoothly oiled and in 
good running order. 

Harvard's New Head Coach 

Harvard, however, as usual, has done the 
spectacular. For her head coach she has chos- 
en a good sportsman and a man who excels at 
any game he goes into. Joshua Crane, Jr.- 
was court tennis champion of America until 
young Jay Gould came along and beat him. He 
is a great polo player, and is good at racquets 
and other games. But he never excelled at 
football, and has had little to do with the 
practical side of the game. Perhaps he is the 
man to weld Harvard's rather scattered forces. 
His first ideas are to do away with all secret 
practice and to make the daily work light, en- 
joyable, and full of fun. 

This latter idea differs materially from the 
Yale methods. Most football men who are 
hardy and strong get lots of fun out of the 
smash and grind of daily practice. It feels 
good to them to test their strength and hardi- 
hood against another man and beat him. How- 
ever the experts are awaiting the moves of the 
Harvard tacticians with the greatest interest. 
Men like Eustace Miles of England and others 
have claimed that the ancient game of court 
tennis requires more head work than 
any other game in the world. Per- 
haps we may see a great football coach 
come out of the quiet atmosphere of the hard 
walled tennis court and teach the hard headed 
practical men of the gridiron new points in 
the game.

similar ends in view, and mone\ evidently 
was not spared in the first instance to obtain 
the best possible results. 

In fact, the links in Genesee Valley Park 
are, in many points, superior to the public 
golf grounds found in cities of larger size and 
greater income than Rochester that the writer 
has visited. The hazards are numerous anil 
well plaeed. the greens earel'nlh tended and 
the fourteen hole course of 4249 yards offers 
as good a day's sport as the most Fastidious 
golfer could wish tor. In order to cover the 
regulation eighteen-hole course, the first two 
and la^t two holes are played over, making 
a total of 5615 yanU. or aim. and a 

quarter miles. 

An important attribute to the _ 1 condi- 
tion and success of these links has been the 
Genesee Golf Club, which was organized at 
the time the course was opened. Phis club 
has done a power of good to make the game 
popular hereabouts and has volunta ilj taken 
much work off the shoulders ^i the Park Com-

that would result fr placing the gri

ROCHESTER, N. Y., SEPTEMBER 27, 1907 



Two Welcome Postal Reforms 

Two innovations in regard to foreign postage will go into effect 
next Tuesdaj 7 , both of which will be a boon to many Americans. 
Letters on which five cents had to be paid for every half ounce 
and part thereof, may, from the above date, be sent at a charge of 
five cents for one ounce, and three cents for each additional ounce, 
which is a saving of sixty per cent, on the old rate. 

The other important change is (he new system of return post- 
age coupons. Persons desiring to enclose return postage to their 
correspondents abroad will be able to purchase at the Rochester 
Post Office a coupon for six cents, which will be redeemed in 
almost every foreign country and converted into five cents' worth 
of foreign stamps. This is, in a way, an international money 
system on a small scale. The turning of five cents worth of Ameri- 
can postage into five cents of foreign costs only one cent, about 
enough to cover the expense of exchange and printing. 

This new system will not only greatly facilitate a large class of 
foreign correspondence, but will provide the cheapest form of for- 
eign exchange for small amounts. Every American dwelling abroad 
for long or short periods has felt strongly the need of such a 
form of exchange. One may, after next Monday, write to a friend 
in London or Paris and enclose the payment for some cheap ar- 
ticle by one or more coupons, which will be at once exchangeable 
for the always useful postage stamps without bothering about postal 
orders or bank drafts. 

All of the coupons, when they have once been used by the 
public, will finally land in the International Bureau of the Universal 
Postal Union at Berne, Switzerland, where they will eventually be 
redeemed by the various nations providing them for their subjects 
or citizens. This means that the Berne bureau will become an in- 
ternational Clearing House, and bids fair to furnish work of con- 
siderable magnitude for that office before very long. 



New Ball=Room'_„Terrors 

While the promulgations of the American Society of Profes- 
sors of Dancing, which has recently had a five days' session of 
rhythm and poetry of motion in New York, may not have an im- 
mediate effect on the make-up of the ball-room programme this 
winter, they are certain to have some influence on the styles that 
will be taught in the countless dancing schools of the country 
which may or may not be followed by those who aim to lead 
Society iu the Terpsichorean art. 

Three wonderful new dances, imported from Europe, and 
branded as the "real thing, direct from the courts of kings and 
emperors," are to be taught, with the expectation of electrifying 
those of us who by choice or compunction find ourselves on the 
ball room floor. One of them is to be known as the "Apollo" 
waltz, a figure dance with sinuous gliding movements. Another 
is the "Motor," which appears to be a kind of polka above the 
regulation speed, entailing a full course of long-distance training 
in order to last out to the final bar. The third, which is to be 
known as the "Esperanto" waltz, seems as about as complicated 
an affair as the so-called language after which it has been named. 

But for those of us who are not so ambitious to be up-to-date, 
it is gratifying to know that the lancers and quadrille will be more 
popular than ever, or rather that there will be a distinct revival of 
them, for they have found only an occasional place on the dance 
card in recent years. "Executed correctly and with due regard to 
deportment and stateliness of carriage," says the president of the 
A. S. P. D., "these dances will again be given with a high degree 
of perfection which gained them the places of honor on the 
programmes twenty-five years ago." 

This being the case, we are quite willing to do our share of 
lancers and quadrilles, provided we are allowed to "sit out" dur- 
ing the "Apollos" and the "Motors" and the "Esperantos." 



H&rning Degrees By lulectric Light 

Not content with its all night banks, all night stores, restaur- 
ants, dentists and barber shops, New York has now an all night 
college, which has been established as a special branch of New York 
University's curriculum. And from the very start its success seems 
assured. The majority of students are school teachers and law- 
yers, but there are also many business men, as well as some who 
work in factories, and motormen and engineers who are anxious 
to get the benefits which a "university education" implies. While 
the night college does not confer the degree of Bachelor of Arts it 
does give the degree of Bachelor of Science in Pedagogy, from 
which the graduates can proceed to any higher degrees. 

The list of subjects, of which a competent knowledge in a 
certain number is required in order to obtain this degree, is 
certainly very elastic, and comprises practically everything that the 
average university requires for a degree in Arts, provided a suffi- 
ciently large group of pupils are found to be interested in, and 
request instruction in, a particular subject, or group of subjects. 
But it is made clear that the night college is not a "short cut" to a 
degree. The entrance examination must show that the student has 
had a high school education, and when this point has been satisfied 
he (or she, for thirty per cent, of these night students are women), 
may take two hours of lectures five nights a week. This is the 
most he can do at present, which means, of course, that he will 
require three years to cover the work done by the more fortunate 
day pupil, or six years to complete the full collegiate course.

"Musings of A 'Mere Man'" 

A Little Heart-talK on The Loose Tongue 
"JAC" LOWELL 

\ woman's tongue. Few thin.es cause more 
talk, for few things are more strenuous. 

Pray pardon the bit of sarcasm. Being a 
"mere man" it is quite impossible to write 
of the female word-maker without reverting 
to the world-old joke. 

But stop a minute, I beg, and listen to what 
man's tongue has to say of its feminine 
counterpart. 

Throwing aside all ridicule or jesting, every- 
one knows that a woman's tongue is an instru- 
ment of power. Through all the ayes iis ready 
wit, its stern invectives and its silver-toned 
pleas have won great victories for justice and 

for peace. 

A woman's tongue is her best weapon Yes, 
and more. — it is one of the world's best 
weapons. 

A woman's tongue is her besl agent of 
diplomacy. Yes. and more. — it is one of the 
world's best diplomatic agents. 

A woman's tongue is one of her best means 
of bestowing comfort and calm. Yes, and it 
is one of the world's I. est comforters and 
peace-makers. 

When you are in trouble with nun and af- 
fairs, wdiat has fought for you more valiantly 



than a woman's tongue? What has bci 
more service in drawing you from the clutches 

of the enemy ? 

When you are ill in mind or body, what has 
brought you mi ire of resl and pi ai 1 than a 
sweet voiced woman? What has tided fou lo 
reco: er, mi ire rapidly than the strong 
nihil' words which some woman h.i 
vv Inspired to you? 

Thus speaks a man to men. Now he would 
talk directly lo his sister. 

An- you using your tongue aright? 

Perhaps you who read this can truly answer 
"yes;" hut do you know that hundreds of your 
sisters are every day injuring themselves .'Hid 

the world at large by abusing the power "I 

speech ? 

I do not refer lo the fault of over-talking. 
I refer to the grosser fault of talking slang, 
and slander and vulgarity. 

It is a fact, perhaps, that the majority of 
women who are careless in talking are far 
from being untrue to their womanhood or 
motherhood, hut until they abandon the care- 
lessness referred to they can never expect to 
exert their best influence, or to he free from 
the judgments of the other sex. 

A man may join in a woman's talk, he may 
laugh at the daring stories which she tells 
him, hut when he has left her presence he 
brings his hands together with a bang, and 
exclaims : 

"I wouldn't have believed it! 1 can never 
think the same of that woman again !" 

What a penalty to pay for a few idle words? 
The loss of a good reputation it) the mind of 
one man. and subsequently in the minds of 
many! Do you not see the harm of it? The 
suggestion here made does not taboo all 
sprightly and pleasant talk. It doesn't mean 
that conversation with men should he avoided, 

It means simply this: Be true to yourself. 
For whatever your wealth or station, you pos- 
sess a title which is better than all others. 

You are a woman. Yes, and your tongue 
is a weapon, a servant, and a peace-bringer. 

If you have thought of all this before. 
there is still something for you to do. Pass 
the tip on to some careless sister, and tell her 
that it is a "tip" from The World of Men

strange that Rochester undertakers do 

not lead a far • trcnuous life. Win i 

the calm heed 1 nun' tenths of 

■be niov ing populal ion pf one of our cro t 
Inisine one is forced to believe that 

there 1- an active and hardworked Providence 

I li.-it miraculously guard- tl 

nun and women. It is astonishing to note 
how man) people will cro t without 

even gl if there is a vehicle ■ 

owards them. When tb.- number of care- 
Irivers, chaffeurs and bicyclists is taken 

:onsideration why is it that there an 

more accidents? It is customary to growl 
about tbe reckless way in which many auti 
bile, and motorcycles tear through our si 
and there is often cause for complaint. But 

II might be well occasionally to look on the 
reverse side of the matter and note how difri- 

nlt it sometimes is to avoid running down 
pedestrians who actually court danger. 

We till know men who are so intent upon 
their own matters that they do not see acquaint- 
ances passing on the street. When such men 
cross the street they practically throw on the 
niotormen and tbe drivers the responsibility of 
preserving their lives. We would hardly wish 
to adopt the plea-ant Parisian custom of fin- 
ing persons for being run over, but one would 
think that a person might at least help to look- 
out for himself. Of course that is impossible 
with the small boy in the baseball season when 
he is playing in the street. Twice this year 
when picking his way warily along on a bicy- 
cle the Townsman has seen small boys in the 
excitement of baseball dash into him head 
first, once so violently as to push him from 
bis wheel. Hut tbe average individual has not 
tbe excuse of the urchin. 

When one sees a man deliberately walking 
into the side of a street car one cannot help 
■vondering what will happen in the day when 
the automobile wholly displaces the horse, for 
the ordinary horse, whose education has not 
been entirely neglected in its youth, will exer- 
cise, even if its driver is inefficient, some con- 
sideration for the foot traveler, while up to 
date only two or three of the most expensive 
makes of automobiles have been perfected to 
such a point. 

Then there is another common way in which 
people gamble with the old man with the 
scythe. Thousands daily when alighting from 
street cars clutch the rear handle instead of 
the front one. Of course the car is not sup- 
posed to start until the passenger has released 
bis hold, hut conductors are sometimes impa- 
tient and niotormen sometimes get behind their 
schedule and the car starts too soon. Perhaps 
only a trilling jerk results, but there are al- 
ways fair chances for an accident. 

The efforts recently made to regulate traffic 
so as to produce as little blocking of the streets 
as possible have bad good results; but it is 
more of a problem to devise means to induce 
parties of friends not to walk more than livi 
abreast nor to stop to gossip in little knots 
of half a dozen in the exact middle of the 

Townsman.

When, on Monday morning, yon hand the 
laundry bag to the driver who calls at your 



a cylinder, revolving steadily, carries the 
clothes upwards and the load is dropped back 
into the water. Friction is eliminated by this 




RECEIVING AND MARKING 

door, have you ever stopped to think of the 
intricate processes through which those clothes 
must go before you receive them again? Pos- 
sibly the .only thought given is to wonder how 
many of them will be lost before the end of 
the week. But it is well worth your time to 
take a trip through a plant which has been 
termed, "The one bright spot on State street," 
known as the Kelso Laundry. 

Twenty-five years ago James E. Kelso 
started in the laundry business. The art of 
washing clothes in those days was crude as 
compared with the use of modern machinery 
as seen in the establishment which bears his 
name. Much of the improvement is due to 
Mr. Kelso, who has given his time and energy 
to the betterment of the business. The useless 
wear and tear of clothing, while in the washing 
process, has been fought with a determination 
which has been crowned with success. How 
to save time and labor and how to avoid de- 
stroying the goods has been the aim of this 
man whose work has become known almost 
in every state and territory in the Union. 

Commercial Rochester has many interest- 
ing hours and days for the sightseer, and a 
trip through the Kelso Laundry any Wednes- 
day, which is visitors' day, is a revelation. 
First of all, the goods are sorted according 
to classes. Each kind goes to its machine after 
being properly marked for identification. The 
washing process is unique. A cylinder within

method and the texture of the garments is 
preserved throughout. Before leaving the 
machine the goods are rinsed and blued. 

Possibly the hardest part of the home wash- 



ing is in the wringing. But how simply it is 
done here ! No hands perform the task. The 
water is forced from the articles by what is 
known as centrifugal extract. A perforated 
kettle, revolving 1,400 times per minute, com- 
pels the water to descend and leaves the gar- 
ments practically dry. From here they go into 
another machine which separates them from 
each other thus obviating the possibility of 
tearing by human hands. This same care is 
exercised in every department, the prime object 
of which is to deliver the laundry to the own- 
er in the same condition in which it was re- 
ceived, but thoroughly cleansed. 

How many persons know that no ironing is 
done on the snow' white bosom of the shirt? 
After being dampened the front of the shirt is 
placed on a felt surface and forced upward by 
hydraulic pressure against a steam-heated iron. 
It remains -there for a minute; when released 
the "ironing" is done ! 

A critical inspection of the apparel is made 
by an expert and should the work done thus 
far not be up to the standard set by Mr. Kelso, 
back it goes to be done over again. The com- 
pleted article is sent to the sorters and check- 
ers and is re-checked to avoid error. It is 
then wrapped and ready for delivery. 

The processes through which collars, cuffs, 
ladies' fine waists and dainty linen go, must be 
seen to be appreciated. Mr. Kelso makes an 
effort to accompany the visitor in person and 
explains in detail each machine and system 
employed. More than 100 persons are en-

FINANCE 

| Wall Street Bureau 
-< of Every Friday 
I September 26, 1907 

Wall street has had a varietj of conflicting 
developments to reflect this week and the re- 
sult has been an extremelj interesting financial 

situation. One of the tragedies of the stock 
market has been the predicament of rich men. 
In this connection the stories about II. II 
Rogers have excited much attention. When 
Mr. Rogers became interested in the Tide- 
water Railroad proposition at the South 
against the advice of his best friends lie little 
knew that he would lie called upon to person 
ally finance the tremendous obligations that 
he has had to care for within the last si\ 
months. It has been estimated thai fully 4(1 
per cent, of Mr. Rogers' entire fortune has 
become tied up in that venture, and while the 
result may not in the long run he disastrous, 
the fact that he ami his associates wi i 
liged to pay Wall street hanker- something 
like 111 or 12 per cent, for a shorl term loan 
of $10,000,000 indicates that he has been 
pretty well pressed for ready money. Other 
rich men have faced a similar predicament, 
and there can he no doubt that main reputed 

millionaires have been hard up Foi lej this 

summer. 

How Copper Sim moN Has I'.i i \ Saved 
The speculative outlook ha- been umenselj

arc usually asked to advance 80 per cent, of 
the value, it is apparent that the situation 
would be immensely helped by selling most 
of this production, and in that way paying off 
the loans. Some very shrewd experts believe 
that the copper shares are a fair purchase to 
day. although the speculative uncertainties of 
those securities are too well known to venture 
any definite prediction at this time. There 
has been fair investment buying in the stand- 
ard dividend paying shares, and while the 
week's operations have not been spectacular 
at all. the market has unquestionably g

Local StocK Exchange 

I In- high grade industrial shares in the 
market have weathered the financial Hurry 
thai has passed over the principal exchanges 
of the country this year much better than 
many stocks in the New York market. If it 
UOt been for the unfortunate telephom 
trophe, it is doubtful that the local mar- 
ket would have suffered such b>s-es as it did. 
With the telephone sit nation in a fair way 
toward rehabilitation the market is in a bet- 
ter position to respond to favorable news than 
it has been in a long time. 

The annual meeting of the American Fruit 
Product Company was held last week and wa- 
attended by a large number 'if stockholders. 
The report of the treasurer showed that the 
past year had been a most favorable one. The 
company, it is understood, carried to surplus 
account about $35,000, bringing the total 
surplus up to about $340,000. The amount car- 
ried forward, in spite of the fact that the com- 
pany paid 10 per cent, dividend on $1,000,000 
additional capital during the past year, 
showed a noticeable increase over the previous 
year. The regular dividends on the common 
and preferred stock- were declared. The 
dividend on the former is - _■ per cent., pay- 
al le November 1st. and on the latter C 
cent., payable October 1st. Directors and 
:rs were re-elected. 

The meeting of the Xew York and Kentucky 
I'otupam is scheduled for to-day. Rumors 
have been current to the effect that another 
extra dividend might be paid this fall, or that 
the right to subscribe for additional stock- 
might le offered to the stockholders. New 
\ ork and Kentucky stock has showed consid- 
strength lately, selling at advanced quo- 
tations. 

The directors of the Lisk Manufacturing 
Company, of Canandaigua, have declared the 
regular quarterly dividend of 2 per cent, on 
the stock, payable October 1st. Despite the 
fact that this stock pays S per cent., the price 
ha- declined below par. Small investors have 
been attracted by the apparent cheapness of 
the sp,ck. The company repe.rts its business 
larger than ever, it having been necessary to 
construct an additional building to take care 
of the increased business. 

On October 1st more than $2,000,000 will 
be disbursed by Rochester industrial and 
financial corporations in the shape of 
dividends and interest. A large part of tlr 
sum is expected to find its way hack in 
security market.

EVERY FRIDAY 




RATURR 



The latest annual catalogue of The Mac- 
millau Company, which has just heen issued, 
has been prepared in accordance with a new 
plan that gives it more than passing value. 
It is arranged on the plan of a dictionary, au- 
thor and subject entries following one another 
in one alphabetical list. The catalogue con- 
tains a complete list of all books published by 
this company which are still in active demand, 
and it is especially valuable because these in- 
clude the more important publications issued 
in the last fifty years or more by a number 
of the largest English publishing houses. It 
is announced by the publishers that the total 
number of titles is nearly six thousand and 
that about twenty-eight hundred different au- 
thors are represented. 

The continued popularity of the pocket edi- 
tion of the standard Wormeley translation of 
The Comedie Humaine of Honore de Balzac 
which Little, Brown & Co. issued a few years 
ago, has led the Boston publishing house to 
bring out handsome pocket editions of the 
Masterpieces of Alexandre Dumas, in 14 vols., 
the novels of Jane Austen, in 6 vols., to be 
followed a month later by the Masterpieces of 
Victor Hugo, in 10 volumes. 

One of the most interesting books of remin- 
iscences of the year will be Mr. Walter Crane's 
"An Artist's Reminiscences" which The Mac- 
millan Company will publish this month. Mr. 
Crane has had an exceptionally large and in- 
teresting circle of friends as a result of the 
various activities in which he has been con- 
cerned. 

A publishing announcement of equal interest 
to scholars and the general public is made by 
Duffield & Company, New York, and Chatto 
& Windus, of London. These two houses have 
arranged for the publication of a series of 
books to be called the Shakespeare Library, in 
which will be included various volumes indis- 
pensable to a thorough understanding of the 
poet, but never before issued at reasonable 
prices. 

"Human Bullets," as its title suggests, is a 
very unusual book. The original Japanese 
edition reached its 41st thousand within a year 
of its publication, and translations have been 
made into Russian, German, and French. The 
Japanese Emperor endorsed the book by 
granting the author, Lieut. Sakurai, a special 
audience, an honor no other of his rank in the 
army has ever received. It is a soldier's story 
of Port Arthur. Houghton, Mifflin & Co. have 
given the present edition a very attractive page 
setting and a striking cover stamped with 
Japanese decorations. 

William Tyler Olcott has written a "Field 

Book of the Stars" (G. P. Putnam's Sons) 

which is simple, convenient and comprehensible. 

Three books for juveniles are published by 



Dodd, Mead & Co.: "Two Teddy Bears in 
Toyland," by Elizabeth M. Gordon; "Patty in 
Paris," by Carolyn Wells, and "A Little Girl 
in Old Baltimore," by Amanda M. Douglas. 

Doubleday, Page & Co. publish "Mosses and 
Lichens," an illustrated book for the nature 
lover, by Nina L. Marshall, author of "The 
Mushroom Book"; "The First Nantucket Tea 
Party," an idyll of Nantucket in the year 1745; ■ 
by Walter Tittle. 

Mrs. Augusta Evans Wilson, of Mobile, 
Ala., is the author of a strong story, well writ- 
ten, "Devota" (G. W. Dillingham Co., New 
York). It depicts the deferred happiness of a 




AUGUSTA EVANS WILSON 

gracious and magnetic woman who refused 
many offers of marriage because of her care- 
fully reserved regard for Governor Royal Ar- 
mitage, a man of equally strong character. In 
the course of events Devota Lindsay appeals 
in person to the governor to pardon her friend's 
husband who has been convicted of murder. 
The debate in which a man's life hangs in the 
balance takes place at a chance meeting in a 
spacious flower garden beneath pink oleanders 
and under a midsummer moon. The author 
has introduced a spirited discussion of capital 
punishment which holds the attention of the 
reader, as does the entire story, largely an ac- 
count of the excellence of the narration. The 
story closes with a strong appeal on the part 
of the man for the love of a woman whose 
pride first and whose humiliation later kept 
them apart. The story possesses the charac- 
ter throughout that makes it worth reading. 
Mrs. Wilson is 72 years old and is the author 
of "St. Elmo." "Vashti," "At the Mercy of 
Tiberius," "A Speckled Bird." 



FASHIONS 

E. Y. PRINCE 

In general, styles have not changed since I 
wrote last, and practically there is nothing dif- 
ferent. The first importations rarely are the 
lasting ones, however, and we must be care- 
ful in making early purchases if means are not 
unlimited. 

In a new shop recently opened in Thirty- 
fourth street, New York, so many beautiful 
things are displayed at such reasonable prices. 
As a drawing card in their costume department 
they were offering gowns of voille, entirely 
made over silk foundations at very reasonable 
prices. One that was especially attractive was 
in light green voille over white silk, princess 
model. Skirt was finished at bottom by two 
deep tucks above the hem. The waist was cut 
"V" shape at the neck displaying a chemisette 
of finest lace, with short puff sleeves to cor- 
respond. For a little semi-dress costume noth- 
ing sweeter could be desired. 

Another similar one was in dark brown 
voille over champagne silk foundation. This 
was worn with a square cut yoke of lace and 
sleeves to match. While the effect was prin- 
cess, in reality the waist and skirt was joined 
by a narrowest belt, the latter being quite 
short waisted in the back. Hanging in full, 
graceful folds, the skirt was finished at the 
bottom with two bands of brown silk the same 
silk appearing as trimming on the waist. 

The same model was also shown in black and 
was indeed a beaut)'. 

This season shows ready-made suits in the 
shops which are equal both in style and finish 
to the made to order garments and at much 
lower prices. 

One which was especially stylish was in slate 
color stripe broadcloth. Skirt made in box- 
pleats and fitting snugly over the hips. Coat 
was three-quarter length cut longer in front 
than in the back. The coat was cut with seam 
directly down the centre, side bodies being on 
the bias and joining the centre seam. Under 
arm pieces cut on the straight and joined the 
fronts in the same manner. A vest of pale 
blue velvet was inserted, embroidered in silver 
braid and self-toned soutache, the entire effect 
being extremely stunning. 

Other models were shown in strictly tailored 
effects as well as most elaborate — plainly 
showing that we may give full sway to our 
tastes this year and yet be in style no matter 
what is selected. 

The separate waists are most attractive and 
unless in plaid always match the skirts with 
which they are worn. 

Lingerie blouses will be worn over silk un- 
der waists in any desired color, and are ex- 
quisite. Waists of cotton voille are pretty and 
serviceable and are made to open either back 
or front. Same may be said of all the new

Pony and Prince Chap coats in lace bid 
fair to be worn extensively and are certainly 
beautiful. They may be worn unlined or have 
a light foundation of silk or chiffon as pre- 
ferred.

EVERY FRIDAY 



Military suits of chiffon broadcloth trimmed 
with self-toned silk braid and heavj crotchet 
buttons is a popular style with thosi whose 
figure will permit of so severe a model 

Shadow stripes and checks in lm coats, 
cither double or single breasted are extremely 
smart. The "Prince Chap" will also hi a de- 
cided leader. 

Many of the tailored suits show turned back 
cuffs and patch pockets both on breast and 

sides. 

A particularly attractive princess frock for 
informal occasions is in light blue broadcloth, 
chemisette and short puff sleeves of lace over 
thinnest white silk. 

Another "half-dress" was in navy blue taffeta. 
skirt made in narrow side pleats and three 

folds set on at intervals. Each fold was piped 

with electric blue silk. The waist, quite a 
fancy affair, had same treatment of the elec- 
tric blue and was a little gown one could wear 
at any time. 

Taffeta is to he greatly worn this winter. 
both for formal and informal occasions and 
comes in every weight. For evening wear the 
chiffon quality is most desirable, while for 
waist, skirts, etc.. the heavier grades are most 
satisfactory. 

Just when materials of all kinds were newer 
lovelier we are in despair as to the lining, for 
everything needs one of some sort and silk 
has not always proven entirely satisfactory. 
As we well know silk is all loaded with zinc 
to a greater or less degree and it is this qual- 
ity which causes the many slits ami perfora- 
tions which so promptly appear after a few 
wcarings. There is a new cotton lining recent- 
ly put on the market which is so like silk in 
appearance as to defy detection, and has the 
same desirable "swish" that its taffeta rival 
possesses. These linings come in all shades 
and weights and are especially useful as foun- 
dations for evening gowns. They also make 
delightful petticoats, with no wear-out to 
them and may he obtained all ready-made at 
any good dry goods house. 

The same firm has also cravenetted one of 
their linings and have made them up into rain 
coats for women. These coats are extremely 
good style and so closely resemble the silk 
rubberized garments that it is difficult to tell 
the difference. The price asked for these 
coat- is very small and they make very hand- 
some coats for automobiling as well as for 
rainv weather wear.

EVERY FRIDAY 



LoVe In a Cabin— Two Hundred 

Years Old 



Picturesque Rose Valley House Dating Back to 1707 

Rochester 



Twelve Miles from Heart of 



BLANCHE M. PHILLIPS 



Throughout Western New York there are 
untold numbers of picturesque spots, historic 
houses and persons of note, but come with 
the writer on a short journey south of the city 
and note one place, ideal for everything that 
goes to make life worth living. Between 
Fisher's station and Bushnell's Basin, in close 
proximity to Crossman's Pond, stands a log 
cabin the history of which is little known. 
Therein reside Patrick McMahon and his wife. 
To be sure, there is nothing unusual in this 
statement; but visit this couple for a short 
time and you meet a revelation. 

Two hundred years ago the first logs were 
laid in constructing the cabin and later the 
owners sold the little home to Washington 
Rose who named it Rose Valley house. The 
place still bears the title. 

The present occupants came from the Em- 
erald Isle years ago, the wife from Belfast. 
A strong attachment sprang up between the 
two when they first met, resulting in a lasting 
union. The head of the home is 84 years old 
and his wife is ten years his junior. 

When Riley wrote his beautiful poem. "An 
Old Sweetheart of Mine," he must have had 



just such a place in' mind, for no one can ap- 
proach the cabin and note this true love with- 
out recalling the lines: 

"And we should live together in a cozy little 

cot, 
Hid in a nest of roses, with a fairy garden 

spot, 
Where the vines were ever fruited and the 

weather ever fine, 
And the birds were ever singing for that old 
* sweetheart of mine." 

For it is a fairyland . Hollyhocks and frag- 
rant flowers grow in abundance about the place 
and quiet and peace are unbroken. Changes 
have come since the deer roamed over the hills 
near the little home. The Indians no longer 
camp near the pond where fishing was abund- 
ant. A trolley line has been laid past the door 
and the rushing cars carry passengers who give 
little heed to the old-time abode. Open the 
door and peep within, when all outside is piled 
high with snow, and the cold winds whistle 
about the trees. A sight one will never forget 
greets the eye. First of all the true Irish 
welcome is there and the colonial chairs and 
settees are offered with a heartfelt desire to 
make the visitor at home. A log burns in a 



fire place built two centuries ago; the rafters 
and logs have been untouched for years. But 
for all its crudeness it is home — a real Ameri- 
can home where happiness has been unalloyed 
for a life time. Hunters and fishermen have 
sought out Rose Valley house for years assured 
of welcome. 

After all has not this couple performed a 
real mission in life? Do they not daily teach 
the most valuable of lessons? Unaffected by 
the rush and whirl of the modern ways, often 
alone for days, but delighted in one another's 
company, Patrick McMahon and his life com- 
panion are passing this way but once — making 
the journey hand in hand. 

The goodbye and best wishes given by both 
of these people mean that they wish the visit- 
or the best there is to wish. Is it any wonder 
another verse of Riley's comes to mind as you 
leave this Arcadia? 

"And I shall be her lover forever and a day, 
And she my faithful sweetheart, till the golden 

hair is gray, 
And we shall be so happy that when either's 

lips are dumb, 
They will not smile in heaven 'till the other's 

kiss has come."

EVERY FRIDAY 



With Local Warriors 

( < 'onimued from '■ 

season of 1907. Willi the local aggregations 
lining up as elevens against actual npi 
fur the first linn- iliis fall, much thai has been 
speculation will assume the mold ..i 

Some hopes and expectations will loubt 

while others will find birth. 

The 'Varsitj will journey in the racuse 
campus ami endeavor to snare the Salim mon- 
sters in their own lair. Victory, of course, 
is not ni the reckoning and the efforts .if the 
local collegians will center in reducing the 
score, which was 38 to last year, to creditable 
proportions. As many candidates will be tried 
by the Yellow, without any definite line-up, 
the athletic authorities at the university have 
decided not to include the game among those 
idered in awarding the block "R" at the 
sra~on's end. 

The two high schools will furnish a double 
bill on Culver Field, East High with Genesee 
Wesleyan Seminary, and West High with 
Canandaigua Academy. The former will play 
with a double purpose to trj out its men, and 
to avenge last season's unexpected defeat at 
the hands of the Lima institution. Both ends 
should he attained, although Coach Sullivan 
has not been training his men particularly for 
this game. West High ought not to experience 
much difficulty in duplicating last year's com- 
paratively easj triumph over Canandaigua. 

What the line-ups will be is not yet definite- 
ly settled, and they will shift constantly as the 
games advance. It began to look last week as 
though the 'Varsity backfield would start out 
with Grant at quarterback, Pray at full. Parce 
at right half, and Fowle at left hall", providing 
he returned in time to get into condition. The 
squad suffered its first misfortune, however, 
when Parce threw his shoulder out on Friday 
for the second time this season. 

Another speedy backfield combination, which 
is likely to be worked before or during the 
game, is Joy. quarter, D. Roberts, full, and 
Kamaker and Dunn, halves. 

Pray, the Medford star, looks good at full. 
hitting the line low and presenting a formid- 
able front to a tackier. Although at first he 
bad a tendency to get his punts awa; too low. 
be is improving, being able to average from 
-til to 55 yards under favorable conditions, 
kamaker and Parce are also effective with 
their toe. while Fowle's ability in this depart- 
ment is well known. 

Likely acquisitions to the squad unearthed 
at the opening of college were, David Roberts. 
a brother of last year's end. who played on the 
second team at Amherst last fall, and Arm- 
bruster. a former Mechanic's Institute man 
Both are stocky and weigh around 160 pounds. 
Roberts has been tried in the b and at 

tackle, while Armbruster has beer working 
out at a guard. 

If Keiber. who was delayed in returning to 
college, is able to play to-morrow, he wil 
ster up the right side of the line materially, 
playing at his old tackle position. Captain 
Jordan, of Course, will he found ai the other 
tackle berth, where be proved so formidable 
last season, and Maeeherlcin will be enabled 



io shift back to guard. This will have Sid- 
ney Ailing, a last ye I i team man. \nu

tofore has bi en o m fined b i his da 

at present the most likely man at center. He 

weigh closi to 170 pounds, is strong an 

tivc It looks .,s though Pierce and Saulsman 

had a little the call on the end- at present, al 

gh Schemmerhorn, a substitute tackli 

year, is working well there and will probably 
get a trial. "Kcnnic" Slater is another man 
who will leave his impression .m some of the 
'Varsity hue men before he is crowded mil of 
a regular berth. There is still ample oppor- 
tunity for dark horses to disturb any of the 
regulars who are figuring on a clear title to 
their positions, and one or two may yet be 
unearthed as the term advances. 

Coach Sullivan's chief problem at East High 
lies in the back field. There have been con- 
llicting rumors since the season's opening con- 
cerning the possible return of Van Hoesen, 
last season', star half. The uncertainty has 
been due to a parental clash, and. as is usual 
in such a case, it looks at the present writing 
as though paterfamilias would be returned a 
winner. 

This leaves Sullivan with Romig, Heughes, 
Bohler, Erwin, Dunn and Roe for his back- 
field. While these men are willing workers, 
they are light to prove effective on the offense 
against a heavy team. The weakness may yet 
be remedied by placing a line man hack, pre- 
sumably Krafts or Captain Ward. Bloom and 
Mason, who recently rejoined the squad, are 
also mentioned as possibilities. The return of 
big Man Mellon, weighing over 200 pounds. 
seiiles one of the guard positions, and makes a 
superabundance of line material. 

There was some talk of placing Mellon at 
center upon his return, but he is too valuable 
a man at guard. Bacon seems to have a little 
the call on the pivotal position, with Mch'ad- 
den and Doran working hard. The disposi- 
tion of Captain Ward is still somewhat of a 
riddle, with end. tackle and the backfield as 
possibilities. He has been working c 
erably at end and looks good there, although 
Johnson is making him hustle. (Irani is con- 
testing the other extremity with Murphy and 
Roe. while Johnson also might be shifted over. 
li looks as though Bloom would stay at one 
of the tackles, with Krafts. Mason. Curtis 
and Donnan fighting it mil for the other tackle 
anil guard. 

West I limb's old line is now practically in- 
tact with llubscher. I.chncn and Forsythe 
possibilities at guard: Carl Smith at center, 
and Captain Bernhard and Zetsche at tackles. 
Evans has returned for bis old end position. 

but Hagaman's job is still somewhat of an 
open question. Francis Durnherr, last year 
of the Iroquois A. C. now looks most likelv 
at quarter, while the rest of the backfield is 
intact with Niven at full, and P.all and Uderitz 
at the halves, where they did such execution 
last fall. Idle team did not suffer material)}

known about the court room I DnantS

whence hang- a coined;, sketch in which Jus- 

ce Benton and Attorney Walter S. llubbell 
appear in the chief roles. 

The real plaintiff in the action is Michael 
Kolodziyska — a name calculated to incite con- 
sternation among examining attorneys. When 
lustice Kenton was calling the calendar he 
pronounced the titles of the various cases ac- 
cording to custom, until the action in question 
was reached, when he called. "Case 151." and 
straightway subsided. 

At this Mr. llubbell. who had no connection 
with the case, jumped up. "I move." he said. 
"that the court read the title of case 151." 

Although the motion was as spontaneous as 
it was irregular. Justice Benton was not to be 
phased, and, granting the motion without a 
moment's hesitancy, read: "Consonants 
against the Rochester Railway Company." 

Then the curtain was rung down with the 
laugh on Mr. Hubbell.

Our Foot=Ball Critic 

George H. Brooke, who will contribute to 
Every Friday during the current season a 
critical letter on the principal matches played 
by the leading colleges in the East, has for, 
many years been a shining light in the foot-') 
ball firmament, first as a player and then as a 
coach. He is looked upon as one of the great- 
est authorities of the game both in theory 
and practice. After playing on the Swarth- 
more team in '91 and '92, the latter year as 
captain, he entered the University of Penn- 
sylvania and his prowess at full back during 
the years '93, '94 and '95 is still a household 
word among the Quaker city students. In '95 
he was assistant coach to George Woodruff at 
Pennsylvania, as well as giving a week's ad- 
vice to the Carlisle players. 

In '97, Mr. Brooke coached Stanford Uni- 
versity, California, never losing a game, and 
winning from the University of California by 
28 to nothing. In '98 he enlisted for service 
during the Spanish war, but was invalided 
home. His health did not recover until to- 
wards the end of the football season, when he 
coached Lafayette five days before their sec- 
ond game with Lehigh, which was won by 
Lafayette after Lehigh had beaten them only 
a few weeks before. 

Since '99 he has made a great name for 
himself by his coaching at Swarthmore dur- 
ing which time this small college has beaten 
Annapolis, Lafayette, Amherst, Cornell and the 
Lhiiversity of Pennsylvania. He has also been 
advisory coach to Pennsylvania for some

years, but refused the position of head coach 
for business reasons. 

Mr. Brooke was also National champion at 
racquets for some years, until beaten in 1906 
in the finals. Lie also won the doubles cham- 
pionship of the state of Pennsylvania at lawn 
tennis, with W. J. Clothier as his partner. 



Both Golfers Overworked 

Last week's visit of the crack professional 
golfers, Alexander Ross, of Brookline, and 
Gilbert Nicholls, of Philadelphia, certainly put 
the local amateurs, who were chosen to play 
against them, on their mettle, with the result 
that some very fine cards were turned in at 
Oak Hill and South Park. This was especi- 
ally the case on the latter links on Saturday 
morning, when Karl Richards established a 
new amateur record of 74 for this course, and 
Bier, Mimmack, Perkins, Engel and Ford kept 
bogey (77) on the jump at various times. On 
the previous morning J. B. Bryan and George 
W. Robeson proved too good for Ross at Oak 
Hill, while Nicholls was only able to beat Dr. 
Engert and E. J. Reilly two down. Nicholls 
was in far better form than Ross on both 
days, though each won a victory in the ex- 
hibition matches. The Brookline man made 
new figures for both links, viz., 35 for Oak 
Hill, and 71 on Saturday morning over the 
Genesee Club's links. 

There is not the least doubt but that both 
professionals were asked to do too much 
here. Their best efforts were put into the 
morning games of eighteen holes with club 
members, with the result that they were none 
too fresh for the exhibition matches in the 
afternoons when the public attended and there 
was some disappointment expressed thereat. 
No golfer, however good his condition, who 
expects to play up to the top of his form in 
the afternoon, would do more than nine holes 
in the morning by choice. Four miles of hill 
and dale work, such as one meets with at Oak 
Hill, on the two rounds, is quite enough to 
take the edge off a man's game for the rest 
of the day. And such certainly proved the 
case on Friday afternoon and again on Satur- 
day afternoon after both "professors" had had 
a gruelling over the Genesee Club's links in the 
morning. 

Naturally, both men were anxious to secure 
the bonuses offered by the members of each 
club for the establishment of new record fig- 
ures. Nicholls secured the bulk of this money 
on both courses, but it was in the morning 
on each links that the best work was done 
and the talent money 'earned. Had the op- 
portunity to gain these gratuities been con- 
fined to the exhibition matches in the after- 
noons the public certainly would have seen 
some finer golf. Both men expressed them- 
selves as highly pleased with Rochester's hos- 
pitality and the growing interest in the game.

victory as they did when they took ten out of 
twelve matches from the Bison City men 
earlier in the season on the local courts, the 
final scores on Saturday showed Rochester to 
have won five matches pud Buffalo four. Chief 
honors of the last tourney again belong to 
Ward, who had a long tussle with Bissell, 
Buffalo's star player, and won out by 7-5, 5-7, 
and 6-1. Coupled with Goodwin in the doubles 
Ward also beat Bissell and McLaughlin 9-7, 
5-7, and 6-3. Hamlin and Stebbins, of Roch- 
ester, each won their singles from McLaughlin 
and Wagner respectively, while Will and 
Griffith in the doubles had no trouble in beat- 
ing their Buffalo opponents, Wagner and Cut- 
ler, 6-3 and -6-2. 



Rochester Club Men in AdirondacKs

which the lakes were christened tumbles and 
splashes along on its way to the lakes below, 
its stream flashing like molten silver here and 
there among the bushes. 

For a New Clue House 

The club has plans in readiness for the 
erection of a new club house which will cost 
about $6,500, but, pending the execution of 
these, many improvements have been made 
in the present structure since the club took 
possession. An addition has been built, hard- 
wood floors have been laid, and electric lights 
and baths have been installed. The old hotel 
lobby has been converted into the most cosy 
lounging place imaginable, and at the close 
of the day, many wonderful tales of fish which 
were not caught as well as of those which 
were, are passed round the comfortable open 
fire place with its glowing pile of logs. 

The members spend as much of their time 
on the club preserve as business will permit. 
Many of them bring their families, and every 
moment of the stay in the heart of the balsam 
scented forests is enjoyed to the full. All are 
enthusiastic over the future of the organiza- 
tion, and declare they will make of it a 
medium which shall yet play a prominent part 
in the restoration of the Great North Woods, 
to something like the natural charm which 
was theirs back there in the days when the 
forests were the home of the elk and the 
moose, and no more gamey fish were to be 
found in the land than those which swam the 
Adirondack water-ways. 



Our Tennis Men Win Again

triumphant from Buffalo on Saturday night,

Another Sure Sign of "Greater Roch= 
ester" 

While on West Avenue recently our atten- 
tion was attracted to a poster on a residence 
in course of construction. It read : 

"Hendrick Van Ingen 

Architect 
Mechanics Institute." 

We later learned what an important part 
this individual branch was playing in the re- 
cent growth of our modern city. We won- 
dered how few Rochesterians realized that a 
practicing architect with fully equipped draft- 
ing rooms at the Institute, was giving to both 
students and clients the benefit of theory, 
coupled with practice.

EVERY FRIDAY 



Her Rival Monument 

( ( 'ontinued from /< 

.Mis- Denning was greatly astoni In 1 at 
this information and realized al once that 
something \v;is brewing but she would not 
cross examine the children. 

"All right, dears," she said. "Tell hci 
told me. I lore's something to buy candy 
with." 

"But ain't you coming to see us no more?" 
asked Mildred. 

"You're just as good as Hannah," assured 
Robert. 
"If you only had a hatchet." said Mildred 
il tfully. 
"Her picture's just come and we'll show it 
to you, if you'll come over with us won't we, 
said Robert. 
"Yes and (here's a lot more mama'll tell you 
about her. Uncle Jim wants you to know," 
said Robert. 

"Sometime, perhaps, but not to-dav," said 
Mi-s Denning. 

The children were now disputing over the 
ownership of a small toad that had just made 
its appearance on the walk so they- ceased their 
offers of hospitality and forgot the gist of 
their errand. 

When they returned home, Mrs. Jackson 
said. "Well dearies, did you call on Auntie 
Doll as I told you:'' 

"Nope," said Robert, "but we saw her in 
the park." 

"0 Mama! Robert most killed a sweet little 
toad." cried Mildred. 

"What did Auntie Doll say?" asked the 
mother. 

"O nufhn much," said Robert, "she didn't 
want to hear about Hannah and 1 won't ever 
tell her again." 

"Still jealous," thought Mrs. Jackson. 
"He didn't tell her all," said Mildred, "and 
she wouldn't come and see Hannah's picture. 
we asked her, didn't we Robert?" 

"She acted what pap calls 'huffy.' " said Rob- 
ert. 

Mrs. Jackson could see that the children 
had not bettered matters, but she depended 
on James to make everything right. 

Dollie Denning turned to her home strange- 
ly disgusted. 

What had Mrs. Jackson meant by sending 
the children to her?" 

What was all this about Hannah's hatchets 
and pictures?— something that affected her 
love for James— something that would be made 
plain, soon, she felt sure — and she feared to 
know the truth which might bring her more 
unhappiness. 

It was a shock to her that James could so 
soon become interested in another girl, for 
interested he must be to write of her and send 
her picture. 

Two days passed when the postman rang 
and left a letter and a parcel. Both were in 
James' handwriting. 

The letter breathed and re-breathed his love 
and tenderly chided her for her haste in 
throwing him over. Could he be reinstated in 
her affections, his ancestor- notwithstanding? 
The last phrase puzzled her — then it occurred 



to her he was looking up the records pertain- 
ing to his Puritan am o B 

that affect her r< latiori « ith him and how 
could he explain away that odious Hannah? 

She opened the parcel. It was a large pho- 
tograph reading on the back, "Hannah D 
who was my great great aunt." 

A happy smile lighted her countenani 

she looked upon the picture of that grim 

lady, carved in marble standing with a hatchet 

in hand, and read beneath in James' well 
known chirography, "Her Rival Monument." 

The door hell rang again. 

She stepped into the hall, the picture still 
in her hand and there, close upon his message, 
stood James smiling in the doorway. 

"O those awful children !" said he clasping 
Dollie in his arms. 

" I'hev've nearly blighted my life, telling 
you Indian stories about a worthy but now 
almost hated ancestor of mine." 

"And I couldn't do all the wonderful things 
Hannah can!" queried Dollie archly from her 
resting place upon his shoulder. 

"By Jove, I should hope not," he replied, 
kissing her again. 

"Killing Indians would hardly he your forte, 
Dollie. Breaking hearts is rather more in our 
line, eh?" 

"Now James — " 

"Well never mind, girlie, I ought to feel a 
little gratitude towards Hannah after all, for 
she's helped me to some success in my book, 
so much so, Dollie dear, that we're going to 
be married next week before I return and 
we'll visit her on our wedding trip." 



As the Caddy Remarked 

A Rochester golf enthusiast who has been 
spending the summer in England brings back 
an amusing story. He was playing with his 
brother over the links of a club at Blackheath 
which is just at the outskirts of the London 
postal district. The pair ahead were evidently 
novices at the game. One of them, a man who 
must have weighed 300 pounds, frequently 
failed to retain the grasp of his driver and 
more than once it flew through the air after a 
mighty swipe. After he had recovered his 
balance, he expressed himself so well and so 
forcibly that it was evident he knew something 
of the theory of golf, even if he was sorely in 
need of much practice. The caddies were 
having great fun at his expense and the air 
turned bluer than ever when he overheard one 
youngster ask the other: 

"Oo is 'e?" 

"Dontcher know 'im? Why, 'e's the 'eavy 
weight 'ammer thrower of 'Ampstead 'Eath!"

Rochester Children in Mimic War

ARRIVES. V. IN THE PATROL WAGON. VI. MAKING UP AFTER THE PLAY. 



At last, all of the tin soldiers were in a row 
waiting for the command of the captain. 

"Oh, mother ! I'm going to dress up in my 
soldier uniform that I got last Christmas," 
shouted Raymond in a great state of enthusi- 
asm. "You remember what Uncle Joe told 
me the other night about real, cruel war. How 
they just shot men with those big, heavy guns 
and even killed them, too," his voice growing 
louder and his eyes bigger at every word. 
"Sometimes they used swords, but — then calm- 
ing himself as he realized his was only a play 



sword, — "they were bigger than mine and 
awful sharp, I guess." 

"Yes, I do remember. You know uncle was 
a brave soldier, and told what he saw," said 
Airs. Sweeting as she put the bread into the 
oven. 

"Goodbye, mother, "I'll be around here." 
Away flew her seven-year-old son. 

The cookies were baked. The pudding was 
set away to cool. The kitchen was swept and 
the busy mother, just about to look for her 
charge, suddenly heard a pattering of feet,

Raymond, the other boys and girls quieting 
■ Mil. what. "We were playing soldier and war, 
and p'tended that Edith was the reb' oldier 
LJncle Joe talked about, and I was sh,„,tinn 
her dead." "Myl but it was lots ol inn." 
giggled Edith, "excuse me For in'rupting you." 

"Then I stabbed her with my sword, was 
that word right mothei 

"Yes. dear, you mean "i' course you played 
that you stabbed her." "I did it to !»■ 
kill her. 1 ran fast alter it to get with my 
company, and a lot of other reb' soldiet t you 
know they didn't have a Christinas 
uniform, hut we played they did) carried Edith 
off to the am b' la nee and — well,"— pausing a see 
Ond and nodding his head in an assuring man- 
ner, "if they didn't chase me, and 1 ran awful 
fast, hut-" here he stopped for breath, "but 
some officers caught me. Think of it! They 
took my sword and sun away, because they 
say they always do, so that T can't hurl any- 
body else. Why. they put handcuffs made out 
of a doll's sheet around my wrists, and tied my 
le.us and just rushed me into the patrol wagon 
to the jail. Of course, it was so funny after- 
wanLs I shook hands with Edith to make up, 
you see, and everybody laughed like every- 
thing." 

As it was nearly dinner time the young 
soldier had heen told to take off his uniform. 
wash his hands and face and go to meet his 
father. For two or three minutes no one 
spoke. Raymond appeared to be seriously 
thinking. His observing mother noticed the 
change and said : 

"My little boy, do you think you would 
like to he a real soldier like Uncle Joi : 

"I was just a-thinking that when 1 get big, 
I hope they'll" — he looked down at the white 
towel and wiped his hands again — "they'll all 
like the same things and he friendly — so they 
won't have to fight. Isn't real war awful 
cruel ?" 

"Yes. my dear, very cruel; 1 too hope the 
days of war are over."

legislation of the most drastic, radical and far- 
reaching effect. Where Roosevelt would com- 
promise or use a club, Hughes has refused to 
do either even when urged so to do by a 
friendly press. With rare patience, he has 
waited for public opinion to operate with trip- 
hammer energy upon unwilling legislators. 
Where Black sneered at newspaper influence, 
where Odell flouted public opinion, Hughes 
has out-Roosevelted Roosevelt in his use of 
the columns of the public press to tell people 
what was transpiring at the state capitol. 
There is no gainsaying that the people are 
with him now, and that the politician who gets 




"Hughes is now the Puhlic Idol" 

in the way of the Hughes band wagon will 
come in for public execration. 

Hughes is now the public idol. Will his- 
tory repeat itself? No one can tell at the 
present moment. One thing is certain — Charles 
Evans Hughes never will attain to the presi- 
dency as did Theodore Roosevelt. He will 
not be named for second place on the repub- 
lican national ticket in 1908.

"It can never be," she said in deep earnest- 
ness. "Really, I don't see how you ever could 
have thought I loved you." 

"But haven't you encouraged me ever since 
I came here?" he protested. 

"I don't know that I have," she returned. 
"Perhaps I've tried to make your vacation a 
pleasant one, but you can hardly call that love." 

"I couldn't think it anything else," he retort- 
ed bitterly. "From the moment I arrived here 
you've monopolized my society, although the 
place was full of pretty girls. What except 
love would make a girl do such a thing as 
that?" 

"Oh. you're a man. and you don't under- 
stand." she protested. "I admit all you say. 
but there are extenuating circumstance?. You 
were the only man here, and I bet each of the 
other girls a box of candy that I could win you 
and keep you from them. I feel awfully sorry 
for you, but really I couldn't afford to have to

In' the game between Marshall and Burn at 
the ( )stend Tournament the latter was made the 
victim of one of the erratic American's hurri- 
cane games. Burn chose an irregular defense 
to the Queen's Pawn Opening as he was prob- 
ably somewhat afraid to meet Marshall in 
Marshall's favorite debut, but the English mas- 
ter played too defensively and was in trouble 
almost from the start. On his tenth move he 
unwisely captured the bishop that Marshall 
proffered and gave the latter the chance to force 
a win.

The Special Province of This Store 

Being FIRST in Everything 




SINCE this store was destined at its 
very beginning to carve for itself a 
place at the very front of local mer- 
cantile enterprises; a place that would inure 
to the credit of Rochester; a place that 
would tend to make this city the nucleus for 
the traders of all Western New York, seek- 
ing to obtain merchandise both new and up- 
to-date — it has been a necessary part of its 
performance to be first and foremost in 
everything that tended to your interest. 

So that, in the rounds of the calen- 
der, when such events as those pertaining 
to Fashions come into view, it is expected 
and anticipated that this store will be the 
first to give entre' to what is newest and 
best. 

We plan to that end — carefully, con- 
scientiously, considerately. 

By the expenditure of a little more 
energy and a little more money, we are 
able to bring to Rochester the Fashions — 
now — that a month hence you will be 
called upon to see in other places. Let 
your own discernment of style and beauty 
bear us out in this statement. 

Look through the Millinery that is 
here to-day, along with the Gowns and 
Wraps and Waists ; the Furs and the 
Robes ; the Silks and Dress Goods. Car- 
ry in your mind's eye the selection of styles 
as you see them ; then look for the coun- 
terparts later on, elsewhere — heralded as 
the "latest of the late." 

Of course, no army can have more than one leader — and it is so with the army of fashion here 
in Rochester. 

Windows here that reflect newness and beauty in the morning, are mirrored in other showings 
before sundown. Yet the leadership goes on unabatedly and with renewed effort to sustain its title 
and position. 

When later Fashions come — if they do — rest assured, they will be here first. But the entire 
trend of the season is shown in present styles — and the best of all present styles are now here. 

Since no argument is so convincing as the one that is revealed through the eye itself, we invite 
you — urge you — to make careful comparison, not forgetting the paramount issue — that of price.

The Mystery of a Clyde JWansion 



Behind Closed Blinds, Alone with His Pipe and His Books, Sits Arthur Hamilton, Hidden from the 

World and Forgotten for a Quarter of a Century 



The old Hamilton mansion at the comer 
of Do Zeng and Sodus streets, Clyde, N. Y., 
is the abode of a baffling mystery. In a dark- 
ened room in the north-west corner of the 
Second story of this prominent residence, be- 
hind closed blinds, alone with his books and 



married, grew old and their children reached 
young manhood and womanhood. The house, 
occupied by Herbert Hamilton and a younger 
brother and his wife, showed the effects of 
age although kept in repair. 
Not long ago, a neighbor, an elderly man 




pipe, sits Arthur Hamilton, hidden away from 
the world and forgotten for a quarter of a 
century. 

At the age of 26 years he was an energetic, 
popular business man, a prime favorite in 
social circles and the life of the young folk 
with whom he associated. 

One morning he failed to appear at his cus- 
tomary place of business in the Adams block 
in Glasgow street. He never appeared there 
again. It was rumored he bad embarked in 
a western mining venture. His associates 



who had long known the I lamiltons. called 
at the mansion. The front door was open, 
an unusual occurrence. With the freedom 
of a life long friend the old man stepped in- 
side without knocking. His slipper clad Feel 
made no noise and thus he entered the dark- 
ened parlor. 

A figure hastily arose from a chair and 
darted through a rear doorway, giving one 
backward glance. A ray of light momentarily 
flickered across the whitened face and re- 
vealed the identity of the man. 



"Arthur Hamilton I" the visitor gasped. 
"Is that you? I thought you were dead." 
But the strange man vanished without reply- 
ing. The old friend was not to be deceived 
and, in wonder, he hit the house. 

Thus it was that the story came out. Ar- 
thur Hamilton had not left Clyde. He had 
simply remained secluded in the house. One 
villager stated, as soon as he heard of the 
unusual incident, that he had of late, when 
other people were in bed, seen a strange 
figure about the spacious grounds. Other 
persons remembered similar things and the 
wonder grew. 

Why this self-imprisonment? So far as 
known he had had no love affair. His father, 
I II. Hamilton, was a respected banker, a 

i member of the church and owned 
eral business blocks. Arthur conducted a 
i' welry and clothing business in partnership 
with David Sterling. When the business was 
closed out the affairs were found to be in a 
flourishing condition. The father idolized the 
-on and apparently the affection was recipro- 
cated. 

The father died and not long after Arthur 
disappeared. The matter was no more than 
a nine days' wonder. The family and friends 
appeared to resent inquiries as to the move- 
ments of tiie young man and his absence was 
soon forgotten. 

The blinds of the house remain closed al- 
. leaving the r us continually in semi- 
darkness. IK- sits alone iii silence, thinking, 
mayhap, of the pasl and its treatment of him. 

i' lo, .king into the future without regard to 
time, lie must have suffered deeply to take 
such a step. He has voluntarily restricted 
An liberty He has turned his back on 
all that constitute^ life at its best — and the 
villagers — they simply ask, why? 



Daybreak 

Little sunbeams clad in gold 
Dancing o'er the meadow lea;

Panama, the Land of Promise

Bas Obispo, Panama, September 2R, 1907. 
"Panama, the pestilent, malarial and mias-

It is but a repetition of the golden days of

utter recklessness which the very air seems to 
breathe. And here, too, the lore of the 




From dawn to dark each da\ echo the noise 
of many works. Hills and valleys are alive with 
men, toiling and digging, with the puffing and 
shrieking of a hundred steam shovels, the 
low, thunderous rumbles of a thousand 
twisting dirt cars, moving snake like along in 
never-ending Inns; trains, run scheduleless, 
many and mighty, dragging behind dirty, 
muddy flat cars, piled high with tons of rag- 
ged, jagged rocks; piles of wet, clinging, 
muddy earth; echoes of dynamite filling the 
smoky atmosphere with a perfect storm of 
whirling, flying, whizzing rocks, and ions of 
sky-screening sand. Little black men dig and 
burrow; others run steadily here and there, 

scarce heeding the shrill notes of warning 
from the snorting steam shovels, of the im- 
pending blast. Vnd these mere human beings 
are hut single items iii the great machine of 
American ingenuity and capital that is gnaw- 
ing and clawing in its endeavor to unite the 
rough and angry Atlantic with the calm and 
tranquil Pacific. These are busy, striving, 

noisy, money days. 

Slowlj yet surely the great waterway is 

being driven through a once howling wilder- 
ness, pestilential and death dealing, whose for- 
ests and jungles abound with poisonous snakes 
and equally unpleasant inhabitants.

terrors of ('ape I lorn voyages. Our great re 



BAS OBISPO TYPICAL PANAMA CANAL TOWN 

"Wanderlust" is the lore of the land. Every- 
thing is rough men. buildings and work. At 
night the bar of the ever present saloon is 
packed with the invader, in high top boots 

and Flannel shirt, drinking and talking, toast- 
ing and cheering, dancing and singing — it is 
the lore of the land. Along the track of the 
Panama Railroad, which crosses the zone, 



huddled, disreputable, and noisy, straggle the 
low one-story "Machine" (Chinese) shacks, 
tin-roofed, threatened in every storm by com- 
plete decapitation. They afford the laborer 
rest and food, if he does not care to come 
under the protecting wings of the I. C. C, 
whose plain and unassuming quarters are 
clustered everywhere. 

Vnd back behind all these buildings lies the 
canal- the work -a deep, gigantic furrow-like 
trough, ridged and ragged, some parts cov- 
ered with struggling vegetation, others bare 
in the warm sun rays. It is not a straight 
"ditch," as some may perhaps like to imagine, 
but quite the contrary, winding and twisting, 
rising and falling over and through the hills 
of Panama. 

Vnd what of those who are doing this 
mighty task; who are they, and whence do 
they come? The answer is not difficult, just 
say from pole to pole, and from east to west. 
Ii is the Bohemia of the Bohemian. 
The Work 

Progress on this undertaking is all that can 
be expected, even the most cynical will agree 
to that. Excavation is being carried on in a 
breathless manner. At Bas Obispo, the be- 
ginning of the seven mile Culebra cut, there 
are no less than 140 dirt trains passing in a 
day of eight working hours. 

( hi an average there are ten cars to the 
train, each car holding debris amounting to 
6,000 pounds, more or less. Figure for a min- 
ute and the total will surprise you — 84,000,000, 
and this represents roughly but one twentieth 
of the day's work; again we have the ap- 
proximate total of 1,680,000,000 pounds per 
day, or 840,000 tons. This is but one section.

Introductions In England 



Perfected Organization of Society Abroad Makes Absolutely Certain the Position of the 
Aristocratic European — Titled Introductions — Country House Parties 



So many Americans spend much time 
abroad, especially in England, taking part in , 
the social life it is necessary to be familiar 
with those points in social usage which differ 
from customs prevailing in America. 

Of course society there is a much more per- 
fect organization ; it is the outgrowth of cen- 
turies, and has not only the greater stability 
but a smoothness and ease in running which 
is the result of the perfect adjustment of each 
part of the extremely complex mechanism. 

The aristocratic Englishwoman and the 
European bring to their social careers the 
great advantage of absolute certainty as to 
their own positions. No fear of being mis- 
placed in the social scale disturbs her, and 
her courtesy to her social inferiors can never 
be misinterpreted. This of itself tends to ease 
and graciousness in all circles of social life, 
and among the customs emanating from it is 
a very sensible one regarding" introductions. 
In English society the roof of a common 
friend is an introduction to those who meet 
beneath it. All are free to address each other, 
to converse without waiting for any formal 
introduction. It does not entail any further 
acquaintance, once outside the portals of the 
friendly door it is forgotten, unless one or 
other of those thus meeting may desire a 
further and more formal acquaintance ; but 
it relieves a hostess in many ways; it begets 
a sense of good-fellowship and further ex- 
emplifies the rule that a well bred man or 
woman must seek to render all social inter- 
course easy and agreeable. 

In England and on the continent the ques- 
tion of rank and precedence must be under- 
stood, and strictly adhered to, but as a mat- 
ter of fact this simplifies and assures the 
proper form rather than complicates it in the 
matter of introductions. 

Titled Introductions 

A person of lower rank is introduced to a 
person of higher rank invariably, and the lat- 
ter is the only one usually whose wishes are 
first ascertained. When of equal rank, that 
is, bearing the same title, if the introduction 
is a very ceremonious one the difference in 
the date of the creation of the title would be a 
question of distinction. The one bearing a title 
of more recent date being introduced to the 
holder of the more ancient one. 

A gentleman is introduced to a lady al- 
ways, no matter what his rank may be, with- 
out any reference to hers. 

An unmarried lady is introduced to a mar- 
ried lady, unless the former is of higher rank, 
then the order is reversed. The name of the 
lady of lower rank is of course mentioned 
first, when of equal rank it is immaterial. 



KEITH GORDON 

It is usual for ladies to bow only upon be- 
ing introduced, but there are many exceptions. 
When one lady is of higher rank than the 
other she may often offer to shake hands, as 
it is a compliment and mark of friendliness. 

When a person introduces two intimate 
friends of his, or hers, to each other they are 
expected to shake hands. 

Dinner Parties 

It is the privilege of a lady to be the first 
to offer to shake hands in every case when a 
gentleman is introduced to her. 

At dinner parties a hostess uses her discre- 
tion as to general introductions, but if there 
is time before dinner is announced and the 
majority of guests are strangers to one an- 
other she will introduce them without any 
previous permission. These introductions are 
more frequent in the country than in town. 
Also after dinner in the drawing room she will 
make such introductions as she thinks proper. 

The host makes no introductions in the 
dining-room after dinner among the gentlemen; 
they address each other as a matter of course. 

A hostess introduces her principal guests to 
each other at five o'clock teas, garden parties 
and small at homes, that is, gentlemen to 
ladies. These introductions like those in a 
ball room are for the purpose of securing for 
ladies such civilities as being taken to the 
tea-room, to see any point of interest in the 
grounds, etc., and a gentleman knowing this 
at once offers the attention; at these gather- 
ings she also uses her discretion in general 
introductions giving ladies of rank and mar- 
ried ladies the option of the introduction, but 
introducing young unmarried ladies to each 
other and gentlemen to ladies without any 
nrevious permission. 

Country House Parties 
At country house parties the hostess should 
introduce the principal ladies to one another 
on the day of their arrival, but if the party 
is a large one introductions are not generally 
made, but the hostess follows her own judg- 
ment. Of course here the general rule holds 
good, and the fact of being guests in the same 
house constitutes an introduction. If the 
party is a large one there is no difficulty in 
avoiding an acquaintance if it is not desired. 
Where guests are, as I have said, perfectly 
free to converse without introduction, the 
initiative should be taken by the lady of higher 
rank, the married with the unmarried, the 
older with the younger. 

In England there are quite a number of 
public balls given in the country during the 
hunting season, and at watering places dur- 
ing the season, and in town on certain public 



occasions, for charities, etc., and introductions 
at such balls are not infrequently made by the 
stewards. This is not a part of the duties of 
stewards, nor would they be justified in mak- 
ing promiscuous introductions. Usually the 
stewards are the most influential gentlemen in 
the place, and know the majority of those 
present, but no stranger at such a ball should 
ask a steward to whom he is unknown to pre- 
sent him to any lady. 

At country balls and hunt balls large and 
small house parties attend from the different 
country houses, and they generally join forces, 
making introductions among their own parties, 
but being really entirely aloof from the other 
sets, of which there may be several. 

On The Continent 

In France and Germany, Spain, Italy, in- 
deed all continental countries, the same order 
as to rank and precedence is followed as in 
England. In Germany, however, introduc- 
tions are much more general, but recognition 
after an introduction which in England and 
America always rests with the lady, rests in 
continental society with the gentleman. 

In this matter of introductions there as 
elsewhere it is well as it is necessary to be 
familiar with the formulated rules society has 
recorded, but society is greater than its rules, 
and the member whose knowledge may be the 
most perfect is not infrequently the one whose 
tact and judgment meets exceptional positions 
by observing no rule beyond the universal one 
of putting others entirely at their ease. 



Music Notes 

Ludwig Schenck is one of Rochester's lead- 
ing musicians, who has done much to educate 
the public taste for' symphony-orchestra music. 
His appointment by the Board of Education 
to the directorship of music in the high schools 
will be hailed with delight by all who are in- 
terested in the educational benefit to be de- 
rived from such instruction as Mr. Schenck is 
competent to give. 

Our high schools have each a "Girl's Glee 
Club" and a "Boy's Glee Club;" also an or- 
chestra, all of which will be under the direc- 
tion of Mr. Schenck. 



Albeniz, the French master of pianoforte, 
has introduced to Paris music-lovers, a 
wonderful child-pianist by the name of Clara 
Sansoni. She is scarcely thirteen years of 
age, but plays with ease Beethoven's "Con- 
certo in C Minor," the Greig "Concerto," 
Listz's arrangement of "Bach's Fantaisie, and 
Fugue in G Minor;" also a number of com- 
positions by her teacher.

Church Organs and Organists 



France Leads the World in This Kind of MusicJjMany Notable Persons of That Country 
Presiding at the Keys, Rendering Masterful Compositions 



According to St. Augustine, there was a 
time when all musical instruments were called 
organs, and the Bible tells us (Genesis iv.-21) 
thai "Jubal was the father of all such as handle 
the harp and organ;" but we are not to under- 
stand that these instruments were constructed 
at all after the model of our twentieth century 
church organ. 

History does not reveal the exact source of 
i In organ; but undoubtedly, its origin may be 
traced to Nature — the great teacher — -who 
suggested the idea of a wind instrument by 
blowing a gentle breeze across the open ends 
of broken reeds. From this suggestion, man 
discovered that reeds of different lengths gave 
forth sounds of varying pitch. He carried the 
idea farther by joining together the reeds or 
pipes so as to produce a succession of musical 
sounds, when the player blew them with the 
mouth. The instrument thus formed was 
known as "Pan's pipes" or the Syrinx of the 
Ancient Greeks. 

With the placing of these pipes on a box and 
admitting wind by means of a weighted bel- 
lows an important advancement was made 
toward the organ as we know' it. There was 
no keyboard on this ancient instrument, but a 
slide under each pipe was drawn out ami 
pushed in to make and stop the sound, requir- 
ing both hands of the player in the act. 

Step by step improvements were made, keys 
replaced the slides, pedals were invented in the 
Fourteenth century and later brought into Italy 
In "Bernard, the German," reed pipes were 
introduced, and the mechanism gradually 
improved, until to-day the church organ stands 
before us a marvel of workmanship. 

It is to Italy, that great intellectual and 
artistic center of the world, we owe the age 
of painting, the invention of Oratorio and the 
Opera, also the high development of instru- 
mental music. 

In art growth, sacred music preceded 
secular; and as the organ was used to accom- 
pany the music of the Church, it served the ar- 
tistic purpose sooner than any other instrument. 

In the sixteenth century, at St. Mark's 
Cathedral, Venice, began that remarkable 
growth of organ music under the guidance of 
two excellent musicians, composers and organ- 
ists, namely, Claudio Mernlo and Andreas 
Gabrieli. whose efforts gradually made Italian 
musical influence supreme throughout Europe. 

At the present time. France leads the world 
in organ music with such great names as 
Guilmant, Widor, Saint Saens, Dubois, 
Salome, Deshayes, Nicode De la Tombelle, 
Lemaigie and Cesar Franek. 

Guilmant's compositions rank first as being 
essentially organ music and are characterized 
by a clear, melodious sympathy combined with 
beautiful tone coloring. 



M. URSULA ROGERSON 

England has furnished much organ music 
of rare quality through such men as Smart, 
Calkins, King Hall, Wclslenholmc, llollins, 
Coleridge-Taylor, Faulkes, and Elgar. Ger- 
many gave to the world the great Bach and 
his successors, down to Mendelssohn, and 
more recently, Rheinberger. America has 
made a promising start in this field of music 
with Dudley Buck, Homer Bartlett, Carl 
Miller, Arthur Foote, Huntington, Woodman 
and others who have contributed largely to 
modern organ music. 



George E. Fisher, church and concert 
organist, was born in Rochester, October 23,

early age under Edgar Sherwood and Scheve. 
He went to Germany for Study in Merlin, with 
Hans Grunicke and Jedlizeka. He 1m 
fifteen years been organist of Lake Avenue 
Baptist Church, and is a musician of the high- 
est rank. Besides his church organ duties. 
Mr. Fisher has a large class of piano and 
organ students, and for the past three years 
has played the beautiful organ in Mr. G 
Eastman's home, together with the Do

Mr. Fisher's arrangements of many of the 
symphonies of the famous composers, for 



>rgan and string quartet, will be a valuable 

hmI interesting feature of the church service. 

Mozart's Symphony in E flat, which h 

for the evening service of Sept. 29th, showed 

the touch of a master-hand and was an 

in. piling preparation for the words of the 

preacher.

tcriap Church choir, and possesses a rich 
voice of ringing quality that is delightful to 
He has spent much time upon the folk- 
song music and will devote one of his pro- 
grams to the illustration of that class of 
American composition. 

Mrs. S. V. Harris, soprano, has returned 
iri an her summer holiday on the coast of 
Maine, and leaves this week for Pasadena and 
Los Angeles, where she has important musical 
engagements to fill during the Fall and Winter 
season. It is to be hoped that Mrs. Harris 
will return to Rochester in the Spring of 190S, 
where her pure soprano voice may be heard 
by our music-loving public. 

Alois Trnka, violinist, who has for three 
wars been one of Rochester's concert per- 
formers and instructors, has accepted the 
appointment of 1st violin in a quartet recently 
organized by a wealthy citizen of New York 
City. 

David Hochstein, a talented young musician 
of Rochester, will continue hi- study of the 
violin with Mr. Trnka.

An Experiment In Finance 

In Which a Woman Exchanges Places With Her Husband to Show Him How Easy is 

His Lot— He Accepts the Lesson Meekly 



The children who crossed the gang plank 
just ahead of Doris were better dressed than 
her own little girls. Likewise, their mother 
was better dressed than Doris. 

Being young and proud, and not forgetful 
of the time when she had been able to dress 
finely herself, these facts rankled in her 
heart, in spite of her good nature, which was 
of a sizable quantity, though erratic and apt 
to curdle at unexpected crises and to as sud- 
denly liquify again. 

This was such an occasion. "I wonder if 
the time'll ever come when I can have nice 
things again!" she exclaimed, sotto voice, to 
her husband, at her elbow carrying a basket 
of luncheon. 

It was 4:30 p. m. and Lynne's business cares 
put aside for the day, they had sojourned up 
the river, via pleasure steamer, to one of the 
city's fresh air spots, for a few hours' recreation. 
"I_hope so," he returned, wearily, for he 
had heard that and similar remarks before. 
Then he added, as they separated from the 
crowd : "Doris, I'm doing the best I can. The 
bills we ran up while I was out of work have 
got to be paid. But then," wagging his head 
with a hopeless air, "you can't understand my 
trials, so I don't blame you for complaining, 
sometimes." 

"Oh! So / don't understand! I'm just a 
little child, am I?" she poutingly threw back, 
comparing herself in her mind's eye to her 
own children, scampering on ahead to a picnic 
table under a big elm. Lynn and Doris laid 
a course in their wake. 

"Not that. You misunderstand " 

"Afwunderstand isn't a bit different from 
don't understand," she interpreted, a shade of 
mischievousness witnessing that her pique al- 
ready was evaporating. "You think I don't 
know anything, just because I can't vote." 

Lynne's head tilted and his free hand waved 
a little gesture of mock despair. "Oh, why 
does a woman insist upon seeing, hearing and 
doing things wrong?" he sighed. "Feminine 
nature seems to be the same wherever you 
find it. A hen is bound to run across the 
street in front of an automobile, whether her 
coop is over there or not." 

"Now thafs nice, isn't it— comparing me to 
a hen!" 

"A hen can't vote, that's a fact. But she 
can provide for herself in her own sphere of 
life, in which circumstance there is no com- 
parison, for what would become of you and 
the children if I should die?" 

"That's just the point," she sputtered, clos- 
ing her parasol with a whisk as they neared 
the elm. "It's this everlasting dependence 
which makes women feel like chattels. I 
never have any money really my own— always 



MORRIS WHITE 

have to ask you for it. I'd just like to change 
places with you. I'd show you how to do 
things." 

Lynne eyed her a moment with sudden in- 
spiration and deposited the lunch basket on 
the table with a force which rattled the uten- 
sils inside. 

"I'll change places with you, if you want to 
try it," was his decisive and surprising an- 
nouncement — so surprising that she dropped 
her parasol and rapturously clasped her hands, 
grateful but unbelieving radiance in her eyes. 
"Fact," he assured, watching the effect of 
his declaration with curious satisfaction. "I 
can assign you all my duties except voting — 
and I'll even vote the way you say." 

"Will you, Bert? Oh, will you? Really?" 
— maintaining her tense attitude and ecstatic 
expression, as though the offer were too good 
to be true. He nodded smilingly. 

"You do all the housework?" she continued, 
looking hopefully up into his face, "and dress 
the children for school in the morning and 
put them to bed at night. And cook?" 

"Yes, and hold pink teas and church fairs 
and kick for a servant girl to help me," he 
returned, stepping around to the other side of 
the table and beginning to unpack the lunch- 
eon. She turned to the same task. 

"I'll furnish you one. I'll be more mag- 
nanimous than you are," she rejoined. 

"No, you needn't. But the bargain's sealed, 
on one condition." 

"Oh, I knew you'd find some way to crawl 
out of it," disappointingly suspending her 
operations of spreading napkins. 

"Not a bit of it," he protested. "All I ask 
is that you keep up the regular payments on 
the family obligations." 

"Oh! I'll do that!" radiant again in an 
instant. "But you'll have to give me time to 
find a position." 

"Perfectly agreeable. Just let me know 
when you are ready. In the meantime I'll 
take a course at a cooking school. 

Doris was very much in earnest in her odd 
bargain and discussed her plans with bubbling 
vivacity during the luncheon and the subse- 
quent pleasure seeking in the park. Lynne 
knew she would find some means of fulfilling 
her big contract— the face of it at least. She 
was wonderfully resourceful, and her am- 
bitions and energy had led her into many odd 
ventures in the last dozen of her twenty- 
seven years. Her husband wondered, while 
thinking of the ulterior object he had in view, 
what she would attempt now. 

She talked of the matter, intermittently, for 
a fortnight, after which the subject gradually 
faded from her line of conversation, and he 
began to think she had given up the project 



as an impossible one. But one cool, Septem- 
ber evening she greeted him at the door with : 

"Get out your dish apron now. Monday 
you become housekeeper." 

"Ah! Obtained a position, have you?" His 
air was a bit cynical as he entered the hall 
and hung up his hat. 

"Just as good as yours," elatedly following 
him into the library. "Same salary at first 
and more next year." 

"And what doing, pray?" 

"Oh, don't you worry about that?" 

"Suppose I should want to communicate 
with you in office hours?" 

Doris thought a moment. "I will make the 
Woman's Gymnasium a sort of headquarters," 
she said. "I have a good many friends there, 
and will leave word with the secretary where 
I can be found." 

Lynne was a trifle curious, and wondered 
a bit, too, as to what occupation she could 
have found that would pay her fifteen hundred 
dollars a year. But he asked no questions. 

On the day specified by Doris he assumed 
his new duties, nonchalantly preparing break- 
fast while Doris read the morning papers; 
then, after she had gone, rousing the children 
and dressing them for school. 

He spent most of the morning sweeping 
and dusting, making the beds and tidying up 
the house generally. At one o'clock he pre- 
pared a dainty luncheon for Doris, and after 
she had again departed, went shopping, as 
became a good housekeeper. At seven o'clock 
a dinner which did credit to his culinary tutor 
was on the table and they sat down to it, 
each immensely pleased with the first day of 
the new order of things. 

Saturday afternoon Doris came home early, 
beaming with the pleasure of having drawn 
her first week's salary — thirty dollars, all her 
own. She fluttered into the kitchen, where 
Lynne was shelling a big basket of peas, 
waved the handful of bills in his face and 
handed him five dollars. 

"There's your week's allowance, Bert," she 
said. "More than you've been giving me, 
sometimes, lately. Now say, dear, do you 
mind if I don't pay anything on those horrid 
old accounts this week? There are a few 
things I need awfully, and if I can buy them 
I'll pay twice as much next week." 

Lynne smiled as he folded up the banknote 
and thrust it into his pocket — a good natured, 
generous smile, which failed to conceal the 
"I told you so" twinkle in his eyes. Doris 
noted it and resented it. 

"Now laugh!" she exclaimed, stamping her 
foot vexedly. "And be just as mean as you 
can." 



EVERY FRIDAY 



"I haven't said anything mean, ma clierc." 
(lie pronounced it "my cherry.") 

"But you're thinking mean things, which is 
worse," stuffing her money back into her 
purse. "It's a pity that women can't see what 
nun really are before they marry them. All 
gallantry and generosity as long as you're 
after us, but as soon as you get us, your real 
nature shows up." 

"Now see wdiat I get for smiling instead of 
scowling." 

"Thank heaven, I'm able I" interpret ■< 
Mephistophalian smile when I see it," moving 
testily toward the door. 

"Well, just to lie mean," he rejoined, re 
suming his shelling of peas, "I'll apply this 
pot on the obligations and thai will leave 
o much less to pay next week. I don't 
need it just now." 

Doris was angelic in an instant. "I >h, will 
you? You're a darling!" and she rushed 
back to stoop and kiss him. 

When Saturday rolled an mud again a de- 
livery wagon drew up at the Lynne residence 
and unloaded sundry suspicious looking pack- 
ages. Lynne receipted for them and deposited 
them in Doris's boudoir. At dinner he said : 
"You might give me the receipts for the 
amounts you pay upon the old accounts, so I 
can fde them with the others. The new ones 
you had better keep." 

For an instant Doris betrayed a telltale em- 
barrassment. Then, brightly: "I had to pay 
Mrs. Needham half her bill to-day. in order 
to get her to hurry up our dresses, and I only 
had five dollars left. So I had the hats 
charged." 

"Ah," he softly cooed, helping himself to a 
second piece of meat. "It wasn't the bill for 
the hats to which I referred. I haven't re- 
ceived it yet." 

"And," suddenly becoming very busy at- 
tending to the wants of the children, "I'll pay 
the other half next week. Then the next I'll 
pay the grocery and meat bills, and the next 
I'll apply my whole salary on the debts." 

"But that week is rent week — twenty-eight 
dollars, you know." 

"Oh, dear me !" dropping her knife and 
fork and folding her hands despairingly. "I'd 
forgotten all about that. Now what'U I do?" 
"You can't ascertain from me, for I never 
discovered what to do under such circum- 
stances." 

The next Saturday Doris appeased the 
dressmaker with a promise only, for she had 
to provide a social entertainment for her 
"set." Then for several succeeding weeks 
various feminine "necessities" were acquired, 
Lynne's "allowance" meanwhile being quite 
generally overlooked, while new bills poured 
in upon him, among them those of the butcher 
and grocer, and the long-suffering creditors 
of the past began to inquire courteously why 
they had received no remittances lately. All 
these things Lynne referred to Doris without 
comment. It was at the end of her seventh 
week of responsibility that she called him to 
her room, where she sat at her desk discon- 
solately eyeing the big pile of unwelcome 
documents. 



Historic Stone jirch Bridge 



MRS. WILLIAM LAY 




This picturesque old stone structure over 
Honeoye Creek, on North Main street, has 
just undergone repairs to strengthen signs of 
weakening on the north and west sides. Coun- 
ty Engineer J. Y. McClintock, after inspec- 
tion, ordered repairs to be made on the bridge. 



The span was built in 1839 under the direc- 
tion of Fry Abbott, supervisor of the town 
of Mendon, and is one of the landmarks of 
the village. The inhabitants are carefully pre- 
serving the bridge because of its quaintness 
and beauty. 



"Bert," she said, waving her hand over 
them, "just look at 'em." 

"They don't interest me any," he returned, 
remaining standing and assuming a bored air. 

"They're all made out to you." 

"But you're the head of the house now, and 
conducting the finances." 

"I've told 'em all so, too," shaking her head 
disgustedly. "But it seems as if there isn't 
any chivalry left in men. They just pester 
the life half out of me." 

Lynne laughed. "They probably need the 
money." 

"The sordid wretches !" 

"While we're speaking of money," he re- 
marked, resting his elbow upon her desk and 
eying her quizzically, "I would like to have 
about fifteen dollars this week. You haven't 
given me much lately, you know." 

She glanced up at him reproachfully. "Now 
just listen to that — when I'm in such difficul- 
ties. It isn't the first time you've proved that 
you have less chivalry than any of them." 

"The days when chivalry was a tangible 
asset vanished with the advent of improved 
police protection. Robin Hood's ways are 
out of date now." 

"Do you mean to class me — " bristling 
up. 

"No. Only to infer that chivalry can't be 
deposited in a bank to draw checks against." 

"I don't care!" and she began indignantly 
to stack the bills up. "I think they might 
wait till I get caught up a little, anyway." 

"Have you discovered yet," stepping to a 



couch and dropping into a half-reclining pos- 
ture, "where all my money went to?" 

"N— no. Only where mine has gone to," 
turning her back toward him, busier than ever 
sorting bills. 

"What!" he exclaimed. "Haven't you any 
of those receipts for me yet?" 

She faced him guiltily. "Bert, I just 
couldn't. I had to have a new belt and while 
I was in the store I saw just a love of a lace 
handkerchief — " 

"Aw. How much did you pay for it?" 

"Only four dollars. See — isn't it a beauty?" 
and she whisked her handbag from the top 
of her desk and produced the article in ques- 
tion. 

"Oh, fine," answered Lynne, glancing care- 
lessly at it. "That's a new handbag, too, isn't 
it?" 

"Yes. That was a bargain — only $6.98, 
marked down from $10.50." 

"Probably first marked up from six dollars," 
twisting his moustache and looking wise. 

"Then I bought a new vase for the china 
." she rattled on, failing to notice his 
sarcasm and, in the pleasure of telling of her 
shopping tour, forgetting her troubles entire- 
ly. It was five dollars — a beautiful thing. 
We've needed it so long, you know." 

"And what else?" 

"And what do you think I" beaming upon 
him a flood of feminine triumph. "At the 
big tea store they were selling Elgin butter 
in bricks at twenty-eight cents; their bargain

Some Strategies of the Gridiron 



Importance of the Kicking Game is Emphasized and Defense is the Keynote of a 

Team's Strength When the Real Test Comes 



Thus far in the football campaign of 1907, 
there has been little but outlying skirmishing 
at least as far as big teams are concerned. 
The all absorbing question now is the trying 
out of material in order to see what the 
coaches have to work on. After all, the material 
is half the battle. If you hold good cards you 



VERY VALUABLE CRITICISM 

"George H. Brooke is a prominent fig- 
ure in the football world, and is well quali- 
fied to criticise events on the gridiron. I 
am familiar with his splendid work behind 
the line for Pennsylvania and with his envi- 
able success in turning out winning teams 
at Swarthmore, and I consider him a valu- 
able man for the work for which Every 
Friday has engaged him." 

Charles C. Stroud 

Coach of Rochester University Football Team. 



can beat the skillful player. The scramble for 
material among many of the colleges has taken 
on the appearance of an organized hunt. 

The preliminary season practice does not 
always show the true value of material. Of 
course the best test comes in the games. But 
there are other means of finding out. I saw 
an interesting incident on a practice field the 
other day. There was a big fellow who showed 
that he either lacked nerve or was lackadais- 
ical. The coaches did not know so they went 
to one of the veteran line men and told him to 
find out. The two were put against each other 
in the line. The veteran taunted the other 
fellow until he got his fighting blood up and 
then there was a battle royal. Since then the 
big fellow has improved 25 per cent. 

How to Figure It Out. 
In order to learn the progress of the big 
teams with a view of sizing up their prospects 
in the final great battles, there are three vital 
points to consider: 

1. The strength of their all round kicking 
game. 

2. Their defense. 

3. Their material, their general coaching 
methods. 

The reason the material and coaching are 
put last is because these points are supposed 
to be nearly equal and because the first two 
points are the actual and visible outcome of 
the strength of the third point. 

The kicking game includes all round punt- 
ing ability and the handling of punts, fast 
ends to take advantage of good punting, drop 
kicking and place kicking. 



GEORGE H. BROOKE 

The second point is a good defense. No one 
will deny that if a team has a powerful enough 
defense to keep another team from scoring 
that this, combined with a superior kicking 
game, will win the day. Never was this better 
illustrated than in the Annapolis-West Point 
game last Fall. Neither team could gain 
enough to score but the Navy kicking game 
was far superior. 

It is a recorded fact that a better kicking 
game has turned the tide of victory in most 
great football battles. Yale and Princeton 
fought all over the gridiron last year without 
either side scoring whereas a drop-kick goal 
from the field could have won for either side. 

The value of fast ends to back up good 
punting is more potent than ever before. A 
muffed or missed punt, a fast end to get the 



ball and a quick drop kick can win many a 
battle fought evenly on other lines. In the 
big games where the teams are generally 
pretty even, it is almost impossible, under the 
new rules, for one team or the other to carry 
the ball down the field and over without the 
aid of superior kicking. 

So, therefore, if 5'ou want to size up Yale's 
chances against Princeton, note the strength 
of her defense in the early games as well as 
the strength of her kicking game. The for- 
ward pass will of course play a great part too 
but it is not so vital as defense and kicking. 

Yale is sure to have her usual strong 
defense and, if I am not mistaken, you will 
hear from that man Coy in the kicking line. 
The next thing to do is to find out if Yale

Local Football of High Calibre 



Opening Games Indicate that Rochester Will be Treated to Some First Class and 
Scientific Exhibitions of Gridiron Warfare This Season 



None of the result-- of lasl Saturday par- 
took of ilif nature of a surprise, unless it was 
Varsity's touchdown against Syracuse, The 
fact was established beyond peradventure, 
however, thai Rochester is to lie treated to 
football this season. East High had not 
been trained specially for ii-- game with Gene 
see Wesleyan and showed crudeness in many 
particulars, 

West High was not put to a real test b> 

Canandaigua Academy, but demonstrated bj 
the manner in which it went at thing-, that it 
has lost none of its strength and lighting 
Spirit of last Fall. 'Varsity, too, was not given 
a real test, being compelled to line up its light 
line lor the first time against one of the 
heaviest aggregations in the country, and that 
on a wet and unfavorable field. 

The first actual criterion of 'Varsity's 

ih will be obtainable to-morrow, when 
i lu- wearers of the Yellow meet Niagara Uni- 
versity on Culver Field in what promises to 
he an unusually hard fought struggle for these 

ams. The biggest surprise of last week's 
scores was the 11 to 6 win of Niagara over 
Colgate, Heretofore Niagara has been only 
a trial horse for the local collegians. Only 
once within the memory of the. present gener- 
ation of 'Varsity supporters has the Catholic 
institution scored against the Yellow, and that 
was by a fluke in 1903, when the final score 
29 to 5 against the visitors. The locals 
will apparently have t" work desperately, how- 
ever, to stave off defeat to-morrow. 

The most encouraging feature of the Syra- 
cuse game was the indomitable spirit which 
the Rochester men displayed in the face of 
most discouraging odds. After being run 
away with 30 to in the first half, it seemed 
almost incredible that the crippled team with 
substitutes in the line-up could hold their 
beefy opponents to two touchdowns in the 
second period, besides scoring one itself. It i- 

rather surprising thai Stroud's ried no 

forward passes or trick formations, which 
their speed and lack of weight would seem to 
warrant. There is no doubt that these points 



IS A SPLENDID IDEA

another promising line candidate, if lie remains 
on the squad. Although light, he is tall and 
strong and not without experience. Sauls- 
man, the Medford acquisition, played a prett) 
game at end Saturday, stalling with a 60 
run for the lone Rochester touchdown. He 
is probably a fixture. The backfield also 
showed up as well as could he expected under 
such handicaps. The number of candidates is 



making the struggle for positions back of the 
line a feature of the 'Varsity practice. Fowle 
i expected to eventually land Kit halfback, if 
he gets in condition, on account of his 'Varsity 
experience and all around athletic ability. 
As soon as Parce 'is able to trust his bad 
-boulder in scrimmage work, he should make 
a strong bid for the other half, in which posi- 
tion George Ramaker is doing consistent work 
present. Pray continues to look good at 
fullback. 

Shake-up at East High. 

I he most radical development in the East 
High camp is the probable shift of Captain 
Ward back to his old position at center. 
While Bacon and Doran both showed up well 
there last Saturday, neither filled Ward's 
shoes exactly, and it is thought that the plucky 
captain can be used to greatest advantage at 
the pivotal position, where he starred last fall. 
This will leave Johnson, Roe and Murphy to 
light it out for the vacant wing position. After 
his spectacular work against Lima, Johnson 
looks most likely to the public eye at present, 
i ine of the most gratifying features of East 
1 1 igh's game was the work of the backfield, 
which had occasioned the coaches some appre- 
hension. Lanni at left half has proved a 
strong acquisition and should make the place 
with a rush, while Irwin on the other side also 
did yeomanry service, delighting his support- 
is. Romig and Heughes were known quanti- 
ses, and should prove even stronger this year. 
At West High there will probably be few 
shifts, as the coaches will aim to keep last 
year's star line-up as nearly intact as possi- 
ble. Lee, a likely candidate for the line, has 
appeared on the scene, and, with Forsythe and 
l.ehnen, is having a lively struggle for one of 
i he guards. Hubscher should be able to look 
after the other. The three backs. Ball, 
I deritz and Xiven, look better than ever, and 
were very aggressive Saturday. Smeed and 
Dunherr are making a pretty fight for quaru-r- 
1 ick, while Asa Ball, brother of the star back, 
is working hard for one of the wing positions. 



A GREAT ACQUISITION 

"George H. Brooke was certainly a great 
hack when in Pennsylvania and has shown 
that his knowledge of the finer points of the 
game has not deserted him at all since leav- 
ing college. Such a successful player and 
coach certainly should know whereof he 
writes when his subject is football, and I 
regard his acquisition by the publishers of 
Kv vm\ Friday as mosl fortunate for its 
readers.'

Autumn's Dream— An Idyll in Prose 

Romance of the Fatherland in Which Remorse Finds Some Satisfaction in 
Generosity and Conscience is Appeased After Twenty Years 



ADAPTED FROM THE GERMAN BY VICTORIA CROSS 



Doctor Rudiger had left the mail coach at the 
entrance of the village and directed his foot- 
steps towards the cosy dwelling of the village 
teacher. The clear, pure, vivifying air of the 
fair autumn morning made him feel espe- 
cially happy and well after the ride in the stuffy 
coach. The sun was flooding the tidy houses, 
covered with vines, the paths covered with 
golden gravel winding through the small gar- 
den gorgeous with late flowers, and he felt 
his heart swell with enthusiastic joy, a thing 
he had forgotten, pouring over musty books for 
over IS years. It was long since he had been 
in this quiet little hamlet hidden away in one 
of the prettiest valleys of central Germany, 
although he knew well each nook, even each 
tree and shrub of the wayside. 

Slowly he mounted the well trodden steps 
of the old house and knocked with his stick 
on the red brick floor of the vestibule. A 
tall, slender, delicate looking girl emerged from 
the door to the right. 

"Oh, Doctor, is this you?" she said. "And 
so early?" 

"I hope that I am not too early to be wel- 
come, child," he answered giving a fatherly 
little pat to the velvet cheek of the eighteen 
year old girl. "Where is mother?" 

"She had one of her attacks yesterday and 
is in bed, but it is nothing at all serious." 

Doctor Rudiger said something soothing, 
but it was only one of those stereotyped 
phrases in which his heart had no part. Yet 
some 20 years ago even a slight indisposition 
of the woman in question would have brought 
to him the greatest anxiety and have made 
him pass many a sleepless night. To-day 
she was as indifferent to him as if she were 
the Empress of the Celestial Empire. 

"Are you surprised to see me, Lienchen ? It 
seems that it is some time since I have been 
here." 

"Yes, at least two years, but we have taken 
good care of your house in the meanwhile. 
You will have no fault to find, Doctor." 

"Probably you will not have much longer 
to bother with it. A young man has come to 
see me about it, a certain painter named Walter 
Dickmann. I have come here to meet him and 
show him all through the place and if we 
agree on the price — well, he may have it." 

He expected to hear an exclamation of as- 
tonishment or of regret, but she said only: 
"So you are going to sell the house to him?" 
"Yes, if he agrees to add 3000 florins to the 
sum he offered he may have it, for the prop- 
erty is of no earthly value to me. The ride 
from the city is far too uncomfortable that 
I should ever use it as a dwelling myself. 
He says that he has passed here a few months 
last summer when he was studying land- 



scape painting from nature. You must have 
seen him then." 

"If he is the man who lodged at the "Golden 
Crown" last summer, then I have seen him. 
But are you not coming into the parlor, Doc- 
tor?" 

"No, thanks. Give me the keys to my house, 
please. Since your mother is ill I shall prob- 
ably have to put up with a meal at the 
"Crown." 

"Certainly not. I will bring you what we 
have got ourselves for dinner and I will do 
my best to please so spoiled a gentleman as 
you are." 

"You little rascal ! Soon probably you will 
have to play mistress in some house yourself, 
so you had better begin to learn, ay?" 

He again patted her cheek, which was so 
soft and smooth that his finger tips tingled 
at the contact, and, taking the keys he walked 
towards his house. It was an old-fashioned 
roomy building surrounded by an extensive 
parklike garden. One of his uncles, a sol- 
itary and peculiar man, had built the place and 
passed there his life among books, flowers and 
birds, far from the turmoil of the world 
which he hated. As a schoolboy the doctor 
often visited this uncle, here he enjoyed the 
widest freedom, and after his uncle's death 
the beautiful little spot came to him as an in- 
heritance. He then confided the keys of the 
house to the young wife of the village teacher 
and only occasionally appeared in the out of 
the way place. 

This woman, who was now wan and deli- 
cate, fast fading from a beautiful dreamy-eyed 
girl, into a colorless elderly matron, must have 
thought this somewhat cruel for the old gar- 
den and house were full of the only sweet 
reminiscences of her life. She had been one 
of the favorites of the hermit proprietor, for 
she had been born and bred in this village, 
her father having been the village pedagogue 
before her husband. Ever since a child she 
had roamed in the shady garden, played with 
the school boys, and there she had dreamt 
the one fairy dream of love and happiness of 
her life. 

It happened that one evening Fritz Rudiger 
had taken her in his arms and printed a kiss 
on her unresisting mouth. She was scarcely 
seventeen and Fritz was a university student 
some 4 years her senior. Every Sunday did 
he come then to the hermit's abode and, many 
a love scene was enacted in the silent arbors. 
Many a letter came and went, many a vow 
was exchanged and then it all happened as it 
often docs when the man goes into the great 
world and his lady love remains in her village 
nook. The letters grew more scarce and sud- 
denly ceased entirely, and when some 2 years 



after their last meeting Fritz came to the 
village, Gretchen was engaged, at her mother's 
instigation, to her father's aid. Her dreams 
of happiness and life in the great world beyond 
her narrow circle had flown, and she fell into 
the daily routine of her uneventful and unin- 
teresting life. The birth of Lienchen saved 
her from eating her heart out in regret. 

During the first years both Fritz and 
Gretchen avoided each other the rare times 
when the successful young man came to visit 
his uncle, but with time they felt no emotion 
when they occasionally met. He even called 
on her and brought candy to the pretty gold- 
en haired Lienchen. He was happy and con- 
tented with his bachelorhood and had no re- 
gret that things were not different from what 
fate had brought about. 

To-day likewise he thought of anything but 
the past as he rested in his uncle's large cosy 
armchair that stood in its old place near the 
window looking out on a marvellous parterre 
of roses, that in spite of the lateness of the 
season were still in bloom. He had come to 
the conclusion after inspecting the house that 
he could not possibly sell it for the low price 
offered by the painter and that he would keep 
it as it was if the latter did not wish to meet 
his price. As he sat and mused, his eyes 
slowly closed, his head fell back against the 
high well padded back of the chair and a won- 
derful dream rose before him. He was young 
again and proud of his youth as he had been 
some twenty years back. 

He crossed with elastic steps, the student's 
cap on his head and the tri-colored ribbon on 
his chest, the old-fashioned garden filled with 
spring flowers and displaying carpets of emer- 
ald green on the lawn. Spring reigned su- 
preme in the garden as well as in his heart. 
A white dress shone through the shrubs and 
towards it he directed his steps. A happy, 
low exclamation greeted him and a fair blonde 
head lay in a few moments on his breast. He 
bowed his stately head and met a pair of rosy 
lips that did not shrink from his. Suddenly 
a noise made his love start and glide out of 
his arms, his eyes opened and — before him 
stood not a dream shape but the living image 
of his love, as tall, as slender, as fresh, as 
beautiful, but with a more delicate grace and 
more refined features. Only then did the 
Doctor see what a transformation these two 
years had brought about in the daughter of 
his formerly adored Gretchen. For it was 
she who was there setting quietly the table 
for his solitary bachelor dinner and the soft 
tinkling of glass and china had awakened 
the sleeper.

EVERY FRIDAY 



La%e Shore Golf League Is InVited Here 

Oak Hill Country Club Players Hope to Secure for Rochester the Next Tournament of 

the Lake Shore Affiliated Clubs 



"Oak Hill wins by hall a point" was the 
Hashed to Rochester late cm Saturday 
night. This, in brief, tells the result of three 
days' strenuous play over the Park Club and 
public links of Buffalo in the contest for the 
$100 challenge cup presented by the Lake 
Shore League of Golf Clubs, the final 
reading, Oak Hill 81, Park Club 80</ 2 , Warren 
63Ht Wanakah 44J^ and the amalgamated 
team, which included some Dunkirk players, 
points. 

As far as the first two teams arc concerned 
it is probably a record for close finishes in 
matches of this kind. In fact, the figures were 
rechecked to make sure that the correct solu- 
tion had been arrived at. The first result of 
the count, however, was not affected and the 
h ..ndsomc piece of silver-ware has now been 
added permanently to the trophies in the Oak 
Hill club house. Captain J. B. Bryan is 
entitled to all possible congratulations on the 
outcome of this tournament. Not only did he 
have the management of his team to care for 
and do his share of the golfing but two of his 
men had to return to Rochester on business 
on Friday night and for some time it seemed 
as if Oak Hill would not have a full comple- 
ment for the last day's battle. However, Dr. 
Engert and Dr. Comfort went to the rescue 
and did valiant work on Saturday. Others 
who represented the local club were Messrs. 
Crittenden. Reilly, Bostwick, Shanley, Engel, 
and G. W. and I. S. Robeson. 

Oak Hill's Star Player 

In the medal play, for which there was a 
cup for the lowest score, Butler Crittenden of 
the Oak Hill Club, finished in fourth place, 
only four balls worse than the winner, Louis 
W. Murray of the Willow Brook Club of 
Dunkirk. Mr. Crittenden showed remarkably 
steady and improved form and, as he is still 
quite young, experienced golfers predict that 
he will soon be "heard from" in some of the 
country's big golfing events. 

While it is too early to determine as to next 
year's program, it is quite likely that the next 
tournament will be held here. The Oak Hill 
team invited the League to visit Rochester 
next year, the idea being to play the Oak Hill 
nine-hole course, and arrange for prompt trans- 
portation facilities for the playing of nine 
holes on South Park. The situation is some- 
what similar in Buffalo. The Park Club there 
owns nine holes of its own, and the regulation 
eighteen holes arc made by playing on the 
public golf grounds for the other nine. 

The Oak Hill Club is primarily a golf club, 
and the officers are all very enthusiastic in 
doing all that can be done to develop the game 
here; and while the holding of a large tourna- 
ment will occasion a great deal of work and 
considerable expense, they are very anxious

to have the Lake Shore League tournament 
here, as it would tend to materially increase 
the public interest in the game. 

Was a Strenuous Timi 

1 'laying four games in three days at Buffalo 
was a trying proposition, especially for those 
teams that lacked substitutes. After each 
day's game every man knew that he had to 
go out the next day and play a man whose 
standing on his team corresponded to that of 
his own. It was the best player of one club 
against the best player of another club every 
time. 

The Oak Hill men speak in the highest 
praise of the way the Park Club's executive 
managed the tournament and Captain Bryan

W. BUTLER CRITTENDEN, JR. 

His good work in the medal play was a leading factor 

in the Oak Hill Club's victory In Buffalo 

last week 

says there was no hitch whatever in the con- 
duct of affairs; in fact the visitors were treated 
with the utmost impartiality throughout the 
games. On Saturday night they were royally 
entertained at dinner and though the Park 
Club was beaten on the links, its members 
1 themselves mighty good losers. 

The Women's Championship 

While the entries for the Women's National 
golf championship which begins at the Mid- 
lothian Country Club, near Chicago, next Mon- 
day, had not been announced before EVERY 
Friday went to press, it is certain that the 
East will be very strongly and largely repre- 
sented owing to the women's East vs. West 



team match which will be played off on the 
: links tomorrow. 

Apart from the team match and champion- 
ship there is curiosity in the East to visit Mid- 
lothian and journey on its private railroad, 
the glories of the clubhouse have also 
heralded. The length of the course at 
Blue Island also will be a lure to attract the 
u from this side of the Alleghanies, as 
they are all confident of their strength and 
fear no rivals in this country in this respect. 
It will be the longest links the women's cham- 
pionship has been played on, but the excellent 
placing of the hazards and the fine putting 
greens will make the course not as hard as 
Brae Burn was last year. 

In its entire length the round is 6,367 yards. 
The outward journey is 3,221 yards, the holes 
coining in the order of 352, 190, 357, 327, 378, 
380, 528, 309 and 400 yards. Coming in the 
total is 3,146 yards, the separate holes being 
422, 400, 121, 473, 550, 477, 280, 153 and 270 
yards. The men's bogey is : 

Out 5 4 5 5 5 5 6 4 5-44 

In 5 5 3 6 6 6 4 3 4 — 42— 86 

Although on rare occasions it has been 
beaten it seems the rule that the men's bogey 
is equivalent to par for women on a long 
ci .urse. At Brae Burn the bogey was 85, and 
Miss Mackay won the qualifying round prize 
wifh 87, a score equalled at match play by Miss 
1 larriot Curtis. To do as well at Midlothian 
will be an achievement for any of the aspirants 
for the women's championship. 

"Short" Game Saves Travers 

By winning first honors at the recent invita- 
tion tournament of the Morris County Club 
Jerome D. Travers secured his sixth victory 
in important golf contests this season. But the 
National amateur champion was very nearly 
put out in the match play on the first day 
when he had F. H. Upton Jr. of Baltusrol as 
an opponent and it was only some remarkable 
work by Travers at the "short game" that 
enabled him to make a tie of it at the 
eighteenth hole. The champion again made a 
wonderfully clever put on the first extra hole 
and took the twentieth and the match in a 
perfect three. In the final for the trophy he 
defeated Archie Reid of St. Andrews, 3 up 
on the sixteenth green after some very fine 
play by both in the first round. 

This tournament was also noticeable for the 
appearance of many veteran players including 
the former amateur champions, C. B. MacDon- 
ald, H. J. Whigham, and Findlay Douglas. 
Douglas, who qualified for the first six- 
teen, was beaten in the second round and 
MacDonald put out Whigham in the second 
round of the third division, the former event- 
ually winning the cup for the third sixteen.

ROCHESTER, N. Y., OCTOBER 4, 1907 

A Bishop and His Recreations 

It apparently takes very little for a man to be designated as 
a "famous athlete" now-a-days. The mere possession of a set of 
golf clubs, or a baseball "mit" or a football sweater or a tennis bat, 
at once admits him into this category, according to the average 
newspaper writer. This has been very noticeable during the last 
week or so with reference to the Bishop of London and the few 
games of golf and lawn tennis in which he has privately taken part 
during his visit to this continent. Because he and his chaplain 
happen to have included a few golf sticks and a couple of lawn 
tennis bats among their luggage", the statements have been published 
that "the baggage of the Bishop's party is said to resemble a sport- 
ing goods' warehouse," followed by some absurd remarks on "his 
great athletic prowess which he delights to exhibit." These incon- 
gruous items of mis-information have stirred up many illogical and 
ungenerous comments from hysterical critics who are unable to 
understand that an ordained minister can have manly characteristics 
and be a devout pastor at the same time. 

A bishopric is one of the prizes of the clerical profession and, 
in the abstract, bishops are regarded as being merely dignified old 
gentlemen, steeped in ecclesiastical lore, who have devoted the best 
years of an unblemished life to parochial work and gained distinc- 
tion therein. Advanced age, therefore, should at least prohibit them 
from taking part in any more strenuous exercise than an occasional 
ride on horse-back or a five mile walk. 

It is just at this point where Bishop Ingram can furnish an 
exception. He is still well inside his fifth decade in years. During 
his university career he was a steady participant, for a few hours 
each afternoon, in one or more of the many outdoor forms of 
exercise in vogue at Oxford. Never of a very robust constitution, 
he made no attempt to emulate the more skilful players, merely 
taking part in the games, like hundreds of other men, for the sake 
of the benefits to mind and body which accrue from healthy recre- 
ation. 

Although he attained honors in his classical and theological 
studies, Wilmington Ingram had a horror of the "smug," the name 
applied at Oxford to the self-satisfied and complacent student who 
devotes all his time to books and allows himself no opportunity for 



relaxation with his fellows. But in no sense could the present 
Bishop of London be considered a "famous athlete" and doubtless 
no one has been more amused at this appellation than the Bishop 
himself. If he still finds that the links and the lawn tennis court 
furnish him with the diversion necessary to his well being, surely 
the very office he holds implies that he has proved himself a man of 
discretion in all things and that he would never permit the dignity 
of the bishop's bench to suffer by any individual act of his either in 
public or private. 

Ten Thousand Workers Under One R.oof 

Quite one of the most remarkable features that will result 
from the construction of the fourteen river tubes, eight of which 
will be in operation within a year for transportation purposes in 
Jersey City, New York and Brooklyn, will be the Hudson Com- 
pany's terminal building along Church and Cortland streets, New 
York. The_ twenty-two floors on which work is now being rushed, 
will each provide an acre of office space, so that the entire struc- 
ture will afford twenty-two acres for business purposes. With all 
the offices fully occupied, at least 10,000 people will find occupation 
therein, a population somewhat larger than Batavia, and two 
thousand more than Canandaigua enrolled at the last census. 

Almost any part of the country may be reached direct from 
this building, as the trains running into it will connect with all the 
subways, and consequently with all the big railroads. There will 
be thirty-nine elevators in the building, and, basing the figures on 
the present scale of traffic to and from the New Jersey shore, it is 
estimated that 182,000,000 of people will pass through it in entering 
or leaving trains in the course of a year. These figures sound al- 
most incredible, but are apparently consistent when it is stated 
that the new Grand Central Station is designed to handle 100,000,- 
000 persons a year, and this is only one of the many outlets of 
New York city from a given point, whereas the Hudson Company's 
station will distribute passengers to all four points of the compass. 
The Central Station at Rochester handles, according to the latest 
average, some 5,500 people a day, or over 2,000,000 a year. 

The frame of this Hudson building is, of course, of steel, resting 
on foundations extending to bed rock eighty feet below the street 
level, the six enormous station platforms being about half-way 
down, where there will be five loading tracks. The builders' 
estimates for the material, etc., to be used in connection with this 
building, also furnish some startling details. For instance, if all 
the terra cotta bricks to be used on it were arranged in a wall ten 
feet in height, the mass would stretch for 28 miles. There will 
be 520,000 square yards of plastering, twenty-nine miles of steam 
pipe, ninety-five miles of electrical conduit, and sixteen miles of 
plumbing, when the structure is completed. 



Boston is in great trouble. Not only has the price of pie 
jumped 100 per cent; fifty per cent was added last Tuesday to the 
previous cost of a plate of beans. The "pie trust" and the weather 
are respectively blamed for these cruel impositions. 



A British peer has been refused admission to the dining room 
of a big London hotel because he was not in evening dress at the 
orthodox hour. Perhaps his lordship had other uses for his "swal- 
low tails." He would not be the first peer who has dined "off" 
them. 



The young man who keeps out of trouble never has to worry 
how to get out of trouble.

Cards and Card Leaving 



Regarded as an Abbreviated Note Service the Whole System of Card Uses Becomes 

Intellidibile — English and American Forms 



Many people arc under the impression that 
the rules of modern etiquette an ol recent 
origin and have no tesl of age to prove their 

value. Bui this is a very ei :ou idea, for 

those who arc sufficiently interested to investi- 
gate for themselves find the greater number 
of them possessed of a very ancient dignity; 
and ii is extremely interesting to follow their 
gradual shaping and changing from the 
somewhat stiff, punctilious, ceremonious slate- 
liuess of the codes of one, and two and three 
centuries ago to the equally conventional but 

ier and more genial ones of the present 
day. \ t 1 < I it is even more interesting to watch 
the contrary movement as exemplified in 
American social life. 

In the older cities of the South and East 
the approximating more and more closely to 
the standards of the older organizations of 
English and European life; and moving West- 
ward the much more rapid transition from the 
cruder and sometimes entirely unconventional 
life of the newly created Western cities and 
towns to the social standards of the East. 

Although card leaving etiquette is so closely 
interwoven with that of paying calls there 
is more clearness gained I think in taking them 
separately. Here as in other countries the 
privilege of determining acquaintances or in- 
timacies, regulating all the details of visits and 
visiting, and consequently all questions govern- 
ing the etiquette on these points, Society places 
entirely in the hands of the ladies; and leaving 
cards is really the basis, or foundation work 
upon which all acquaintanceship is built up, so 
these diminutive pieces of pasteboard have be- 
come a most important factor in the practical 
working of the social scheme. 

"Mere man" has reason to congratulate him- 
self, 1 think, that he is not considered com- 
petent to regulate and carry out so delicate 
and complicated a bit of social machinery. 

bracing something of the history of the 
card we find it first in the Italian carta, then 
the French carte becoming in English carde 
and finally our present card. It was originally 
larger and employed in place of paper for 
short notes, and sometimes more or less orna- 
mented with coats of arms, crests, etc. Ibis 
enables us to appreciate its true signification 
when we remember it is but an ab- 
breviated form of a note written in 
the third person. So. when we call upon Mrs. 
A. and not finding her at home we leave a 
card, we say practically in form: "Mrs. B. 
called upon Airs. A. in the hope ,if seeing her 
and regrets to find she was not at home"; and 
so in every case where cards are used they ex- 
press to the initiated just what a note 
would do and their use should be lim- 
ited to occasions which could be met 



KEITH GORDON . 

by such other form of communication, In 
its earlier use the card was sometimes malici- 
ously used as the post card has been in the 
present day. In 1596 Colsc in bis "Penelope" 
tells bow she avenged a slight by "inundating 
us with scoffing cards." 

It is interesting in connection with the use 
of cards to find Cowper writing to Newton 
asking him to send a copy of his pcoms to 
Johnson, "with a very handsome card." Hume 
who knew Rousseau very well speaks of giv- 
ing him a card of introduction to Walpole. 
Byron in Don Juan speaks of a circle where 
"All country gentlemen are admitted without 
cards." 

Regarding the card then as an abbreviated 
note the whole system of card leaving be- 
comes intelligible, and its adaption to the 
needs of social organization perfectly clear, 
and under the English and Continental regimes 
the rules which govern it are clear, definite 
and easily followed. Not so, however, in this 
country where, as yet, they differ in different 
places and where the latest idea of the latest 
society leader becomes a fashion with perhaps 
no foundation of common sense, or, what is 
far worse for the beauty and dignity of social 
intercourse, with the object of saving time and 
trouble. Chesterfield must surely have had 
prophetic visions of American social conditions 
when he said, "hurry was the enemy of cour- 
tesy." 

First, regarding the card itself. It should 
be of fine quality and not too thin, the size 
varying a little according to fashion but should 
never be undersized; from two and a half 
inches to three and a half in width, two and 
a half to two inches in depth would be the 
usual varieties. It should be engraved in small, 
clear type with no embellishments of orna- 
mented letters. A gentleman's card is smaller, 
a greater difference being made in the depth 
of the card, and the engraving may be in lar- 
ger type if desired. The name is printed in 
the center of the card and address in the right- 
hand corner below, and the at home day, when 
a lady has one, in the left-hand corner. 

This is exactly opposed to the English form 
where the address is always in the left-hand 
corner and the at home day in the right. 
Where the American fashion originated I can- 
not say, but for the English custom there is 
a sensible reason. We read a note from left 
to right and as the address is more important 
than the at home day and would always be 
used if the latter were not, the eye should 
travel to that first as in any other written or 
printed communication, and as it naturally 
will. 

It is no longer the fashion for the names 
of husband and wife to be engraved upon the 



same card as, "Mr. and Mrs. Henry Brown." 
MOW it is considered better form to u e Sep 
.rate cards. A married lady uses her hus- 

ii' I christian name always, as, "Mrs. I 
Smith." In this country some widows have 
adopted a fashion of reverting to their christ- 
ian name, thus, "Mrs. Mary Smith." This is 
done in England, and it seems rather 
absurd. If a widow continues to be John 
Smith's widow and uses the name of Smith 
she is no other than Mrs. John Smith for 
if marriage made her Mrs. John Smith, nol 
Mrs. Mary Smith, she would retain the name 
until remarriage again changes it. 

A gentleman's card always bears the prefix 
Mr. unless he bears a title such as is usually 
allowed on a visiting card. In America all 
military, naval, and judicial titles are used, 
also physician's and clergymen's. 

The son bearing the same christian nan 
his father will have his cards engraved "Mr. 
A. B., Jr." In England all titles are used upon 
cards except "The Honorable," but initials ap- 
pertaining to honorary rank, of which there 
are so many, should never be used upon a card, 
such as: D. L., M. D., K. C. B., etc. Nor is 
there any distinction in the title of a Baronet 
and a simple Knight, as the former as well as 
the latter would be thus : "Sir James Brown." 

During her first season in society a debutante 
should have her name engraved upon her 
mother's card, but if she uses her own separate 
card she should always accompany it with one 
of her mother's or chaperon's. After her first 
season this is not considered necessary. 

In England the custom is entirely different. 
Xii unmarried lady has her own cards until 
she reaches a certain age where no longer 
requiring chaperonage and entirely her own 
mistress she i- in a position to choose her own 
acquaintances. Whether there be one daugh- 
ter or several, in society together, their names 
all appear upon their mother's card. If the 
mother i< not living, then upon the father's, 
but for this purpose the card used is always 
that size used for a lady's visiting card, never 
the smaller ones used by gentlemen. In Lon- 
don if a young lady is chaperoned by any lady, 
other than her mother, temporarily, her name 
is written in pencil under that of her chaperon. 
So much for the important bit of pasteboard 
itself the varied and somewhat complicated use 
of which must occupy another chapter.

Haddon Chambers Incognito 



Why the Famous Novelist and Playwright Preferred to Conceal His Identity in 

His English Adaptation of "The Thief" 



From London it is learned that Haddon 
Chambers must be credited with the English 
adaptation of "The Thief" which is having such 
success at the Lyceum Theatre, New York 
and the Empire Theatre, London. He ex- 
plains that his name was omitted from the 
programmes by his particular request to 
Charles Erohman. 

"In the first place," he says, "I was anxious 
lo avoid taking from the brilliant young 
Frenchman (Henri Bernstein) any portion of 
the credit legitimately due to him for his 
splendid achievement in writing 'Le Voleur.' 
I certainly rewrote the play into English and 
in doing so was careful to reduce the length 
of some of the speeches to the Anglo-Saxon 
taste. But I look for no large personal credit, 
for the reason that the construction of the 
play in the original, direct, powerful and con- 
vincing as it is, conforms to the best English 
and American ideals of play making. I wished 
also to save myself from being bothered by 
managers with requests for adaptations. I did 
'Le Voleur' as I did 'Le Detour,' by the same 
author, at the special request of Mr. Froh- 
man. But no more adaptations for me. No, 
not even for the Napoleon of the drama him- 
self." 

"Mr. Hoggenheimer" To=Night. 
At the Lyceum Theater this evening and 
twice to-morrow, Sam Bernard will give us 
a sequel to the diverting adventures of "Mr. 
Hoggenheimer," in which character he was so 
successful in "The Girl from Kay's," two 
seasons ago. In this new musical comedy, we 
find that he eventually married his old sweet- 
heart of the other play, and that they have a 
son who has by this time reached manhood. 
This boy, Guy, is the apple of his father's eye, 
and his fond parent has set his heart on hav- 
ing him marry a nobleman's daughter and ac- 
quire a title. 

Guy has come to New York from London 
on a pleasure trip and fallen in love with a 
pretty shop girl. The father hears this, and, 
to head off a marriage, takes a steamer for 
America, pretending to his wife, whom he 
does not wish to alarm, that he has been sent 
by the British government. On the same ves- 
sel is a fascinating concert hall artist and 
her ardent admirer, a young Englishman who 
owes Hoggenheimer money. The wife learns 
the singer is going on the same boat as her 
husband, becomes jealous, and slips on board, 
going in the second cabin, to watch them. 
They are then all landed in New York, and 
the scenes of the last two acts are laid there, 
one on the steamship dock, the other at a 
fashionable country house on Long Island. 
The incidents which accompany the final 
straightening out of affairs, and the return 
of the whole party to London are very amus- 
ing. 




SAM BERNARD 
Miss Georgia Caine and a large company 
appear in Mr. Bernard's support, the prin- 
cipal members being Marion Garson, Elise 
Moore, Josephine Kirkwood, David Torrance, 
Burrell Barberetto, J. C. Fenton, Mortimei 
H. Weldon, Charles P. Burrows and Dwight 
Williams. There are a dozen or more tune- 
ful and lively songs which made "The Rich 
Mr. Hoggenheimer" intensely popular in New 
York last winter. 

Some First Performances 

At the Lyric Theatre, Philadelphia, the Shu- 
berts launched their tri-star combination, Jef- 
ferson de Angelis, Blanche Ring and Alex- 
ander Carr, in "The Gay White Way." It is 
a musical revue, the book being by Mr. Sidney 
Rosenfeld and the music by Mr. Ludwig Eng- 
ender. Mr. De Angelis plays the part of 
George Dayne, a detective, Miss Ring that of 
Mrs. Dayne, while Mr. Carr plays Montgom- 
ery Bernstein Brewster. There are three acts 
and about thirty musical numbers. The piece 
aims to be thoroughly "Broadway," as the 
name implies. The cast contains many well 
known names, for the most part without any 
pretence at a disguise. For instance, Joseph 
Herbert, Jr., plays the dual roles of Daniel 
Frohman and William Travers Jerome. J. 
Heron Miller "plays" his father, Henry Miller, 
R. P. Galinde portrays David Belasco, and 
Messrs. Post and Russell Montgomery and 
Stone. Frank Doane's role is slightly dis- 
guised as Favvyhackettsham. 

At New Haven, David Warfield opened his 
season in a new play, "The Grand Army Man." 
written by David Belasco and Misses Pauline 
Phelps and Marion Short. Warfield as "Wes" 
Bigelow, commander of a Grand Army of the 
Republic Post in a country village in Indiana 
twenty-one years after the close of the Civil 



war, does a remarkable piece of character act- 
ing. The piece is mounted in Belasco's best 
style and that means the "very best." Others in 
the cast are Marie Bates, Ruben Fax, William 
Elliott, James Lackaye, Howard Hall, Stephen 
Maley, Antoinette Perry, Amy Stone and 
Jane Cowl. 

At the Garrick Theater, Chicago, E. H. 
Sothern has given his first performance of 
"The Fool Hath Said in His Heart," a new 
play dramatized from the Russian by Lawrence 
Irving, the second son of the late English 
tragedian. It is a sombre drama with occa- 
sional touches of humor. The role in which 
Mr. Sothern appears is that of Rodion Ras- 
kolnikoff, a student, who argues that as the 
lives of many workmen are sacrificed in the 
advance of the industrial world it is not un- 
lawful for a workman sometimes to sacrifice 
the life of a tyrannical employer, especially if 
direct good and seeming retribution may 
thereby be brought about. 

Lawrence d'Orsay and Cecilia Loftus gave 
their new play, "The Lancers," for the first 
time in Hartford, Conn., last Saturday. It is 
a three-act comedy in which both the stars 
have good opportunities to show their indi- 
vidual abilities. A critical audience gave the 
piece a hearty reception. Some well known 
people are playing the minor characters.

Arthur Byron play the leading roles of "Body" 
and "Mind" but it is conceded they are badly 
handicapped by the author's crude work. 



Musical Comedy on Monday 

James T. Powers and his company of clever 
singers and dancers will be seen at the Ly- 
ceum for the first half of next week in the 
"Blue Moon," the Americanized version of the 
English musical comedy in which Mr. Powers 
has already achieved much renown, especially 
in New York and Boston, where it had long 
runs. 

The story of the play concerns the happen- 
ings of a British regiment stationed in Central 
India, and the endeavors of several of the 
members of this organization to find a little 
English girl who has been kidnapped many 
years before. This is the principal theme, and 
Powers' part is the main portion of wdiat 
might be termed a secondary story for his 
actions during the entire play. These concern 
his endeavors to ingratiate himself into the 
favor of a young woman who demands of her 
ideal that he be a hero, a soldier and an 
elocutionist. Powers' expressive face and his 
explosive little giggle, together with his many 
mannerisms, his peculiar voice, his ability as 
a dancer and his rapidity of speech, all give 
plenty of opportunities for variety in his 
comedy work. 

Clara Palmer plays opposite to the -tar role. 
This young lady is a bright and clever actress, 
besides being the possessor of a pleasing 
soprano voice. 



"The Merry Widow's" visit to Rocl 

u.i. altogether too brief and the return visit 

oi the enchanting young woman and net 
merry band of suitors will, it is feared, l>< 
long delayed as the whole country 
already clamoring for this delightful comii 
opera, in which, for the Inst time, wi 

some real opera music and genuine c I; 

combined. Everyone engaged in the produi 

lion is entitled to the highest congratulation 
and although Manager Savage must have 
spent a small fortune on the production, lu- i-, 
assured of ample returns for his investment. 
All Rochester is still talking about the opera 
and many hundreds were turned away at both 
performances on Saturday for there are limits 
even to the capacity of the Lyceum Theatre. 

New York will certainly acclaim "Sonia" 
as its first favorite of the season and sin- will 
certainly not be allowed to leave for manj 
months. In fact it will be hard work to keep 
Gotham's jeunes dore's from climbing on to 
the stage and joining in the revels at Maxim's. 
George Marion has provided some brand nevt 
dances for everyone in the company and his 
master band in stage craft is in evidence 
throughout. He might however eliminate tin 
impossible Englishman from the last act. 
Such a character is never seen outside the 



upplcmcnts drawn by artists

I sland or I loboken. 




TWO "MERRY WIDOW" PRINCIPALS 

Miss Loie Ewell. as "Natalie." and Robcrl Graham, as 

"Popoff," do much to enhance the success of the 

comic opera which delighted Rochester 

last week. 



Is Re=named "The Evangelist" 

Since its opening in Rochester, Arthur 
Henry Jones decided to change the name of 
"The Galileans' Victory" to "The Evangelist" 
under which title it began its New York career 
last Monday. It was pointed out to the author 
that the original title suggested more of a 
play whose scenes are laid in the days of the 
Early Christians instead of in the twentieth 
century. 

Stage Notes and News 

"The Morals of Marcus," which had such a 
successful career in London, is under rehear- 
sal in New York. Marie Doro is to play the 
part of the heroine but the original Marcus 
in the person of C. Aubrey Smith has been 
engaged. Mr. Smith will be remembered in 
Rochester as an uncommonly pleasing, manly 
and skillful actor, who has appeared here in 
support of John Hare and Forbes Robertson. 

Beerbohm Tree has decided to give his first 
performance of "The Beloved Vagabond" in 
Dublin, next Thursday. This is the four-act 
play which William J. Locke has made from 
his own novel of the same name. Mr. Tree, 
of course, will be Paragot. Soon afterward 
he will begin rehearsals of Comyns Carr's 
"Mystery of Edwin Drood." 

"The Lion and the Mouse," which has just 
closed a fifth engagement in Brooklyn, N. Y., 
was presented to a greater money capacity 
than on either of its former engagements, the 
receipts being close up to $20,000. The re- 
ceipts for the week's engagement preceding 
this were $1 .25(>.25. It is believed that the 
Klein play will run to big receipts for the next 
five years, and Henry B. Harris has four com- 
panies presenting the piece! 



George C. Hazelton, lawyer and playwright, 
has purchased the Shakespearean productions 
of Richard Mansfield, including "The Mer- 
chant of Venice" and "Richard III," each of 
which is worth many thousands of dollars. 
Besides the entire productions of these two 
plays, Mr. Hazelton has acquired from the 
Mansfield estate many of the effects from other 
Mansfield productions. 

Mary Mannering opens her season with 
"Glorious Betsey" at Plainfield, N. J., on the 
14th inst. 

"The Snow Man," by Stanilas Stange and 
Reginald DeKovcn, has been entirely rewrit- 
ten, with new specialties, songs, dances and 
dialogue, and has been renamed "Max from 
Holland." Charles A. Bigelow and Vera 
Michelena will head the company. 

srs. Hunter, Bradford & Reid, by ar- 
rangement with the Shuberts, will make a pro- 
duction of "The Secret Orchard," a new play 
by Channing Pollock, on October 21st. The 
play is founded on the novel oi the same title 
by Agnes and Egerton Castle. 

Maude Adams began her season in I'tica 
last Friday with "Peter Pan." 

i His Skinner gave his first production of 
"The Honor of the Family." an adaption of

Excavating a Great Waterway 

How Engineering Skill Utilizes Mechanical Devices to Solve the Problem of Digging 

the Barge Canal in Western New York 



FRANK A. WOOD 



The eyes of the entire technical world are 
focused just now on Rochester, due to the 
successful construction, erection and opera- 
tion of one of the greatest mechanical tri- 
umphs of this century. The surprising fact 
exists that few Rochesterians are familiar 
with the machine which is saving the lahor 
of 1000 men, the work of two operatives being 
sufficient to supplant the duties of a force 
necessary to man and equip a regiment. 

Just without the boundary limits of the 
city, in the town of Gates and not far from 
the Lyell Avenue road, one may see what ap- 
pears to the novice to be a steel bridge, the 
supports of which are built on wheels which 
run on parallel tracks. Yet it is no bridge 
in the ordinary usage of the term. It is a 
device which seems to have brains, human 
mechanism and the power of an Atlas. To 
those familinr with its origin it is called a 
Hoover and Mason "grab." The claim is 
made that it is destined to revolutionize the 
science of digging waterways. To this end it 
is being used on the route of the new barge 
canal. 

Constructed along both sides of the cut are 
railway tracks upon which the entire structure 
moves forward as the work progresses. This 
propulsion is effected by means of four 25- 
hcirse-power motors which are connected to a 




A. MASELLI

large capstan around which is an inch and 
one-half steel cable made fast to either end. 
High up in the air, two men ride in a "trol- 



ley" and handle levers which control the en- 
tire working of this huge machine. The 
Rochester Railway and Light Company sup- 
plies power to operate the "grab" and drills. 
The electricity is "stepped down" from 4,100 
alternating current to 140 direct current. 

A cable is carried from the transformer 
out into the bed of the canal and drives the 
air compressor drills, which are entirely new 
and a great improvement over the old style 
steam drills. This method enables the dia- 
mond tipped instruments to penetrate 110 feet 
in the same space of time that was formerly 
consumed in reaching a depth of 70 feet. 
Four holes are driven at one time and when 
they are dry, 350 pounds of black powder are 
used and when wet, 70 pounds of dynamite are 
inserted into each hole. The upheaval from 
this force is tremendous and generally loos- 
ens 1,300 cubic yards of solid rock. The dis- 
placement thus made is sufficient to enable 
the shovel to pick it up and convey it away 
to the side banks. This last mentioned opera- 
tion is interesting. 

The operator, in the car above, pulls a 
lever and the immense jaws, each four times 
the height of a tall man, open as they descend. 
Another handle is manipulated and the shovel 
scoops up 12 tons of rock and conveys it to 
the dump. To give an idea of the extent of

has a pair of very speedy ends. Harvard's 
best kicker, Burr,' plays in the line and has to 
come back to punt which is a disadvantage, 
as Yale will have time to get ready for the 
punt and cover her field carefully. 

Princeton always has a good defense and 
McCormick is a fair punter. Harlan i6 a first 
class drop kicker. The Tigers are more afraid 
of their line than anything else. MacFadyen 
is a very big ex-Andover guard but the only 
two veterans on the line will be Phillips, 
centre and Wistar, end. 

Where Penn's Strength Is 

Penn should have a strong defense. She 
plays her ends differently from most teams in 
that they always come in very hard and fast. 
But Penn has a big fast line and a splendid 
defensive back field. As to kicking, Reagan, 
the quarterback, promises to be a crack drop- 
kicker, and Hollenback, the full back, is an 
average punter. The Penn ends are not very 
fast. 

Michigan will have a great team this year, 
although we do not hear much about it yet 
here in the East. 

The Cornell defense cannot be depended 
upon to any great extent and her kicking game 
is nothing wonderful. She always does her 
best against Princeton. 

The Indians are the "smoothest" aggrega- 
tion of all in handling a football and they 
are more daring in the plays they attempt than 
the so-called big teams because they have less 
to lose by defeat. They will bear watching 
this year for th* 1 promise to be spectacular at 
least. 

Value of Generalship 
The quarterbacks, who are the little generals 
of the gridiron, play a more important part 
than ever before under the new rules. By giv- 
ing the right play at the right moment they 
can often win a game for their side. Good 
generalship plays a very important part in the 
game. Most quarters know the general prin- 
ciples of sound tactics but few of them rise to a 
place of daring and brilliancy such as Stevenson 
of Penn. or "Phil" King, the famous Prince- 
ton quarter, who once beat Yale on a daring 
long pass. Most quarters wait until they are 
hard pushed before they try their tricks and 
at the time when the other team expects a 
trick. 

The value of brawn and beef were claimed 
to have been minimized under the new rules 
and speed and brains emphasized. This has 
not proved true because both brawn and 
brains have been emphasized. The five centre 
men must be very powerful because they are 
not backed up so sharply by the back field 
nowadays. Also, they are necessary for a 
powerful line attack. 

Like the Great Napoleon 

Napoleon always concentrated his heaviest 

fire on the centre of the enemy before he won 

his battles on the flanks. So it is in football. 

The end attack of forward passes, etc., is not 



apt to work unless the opposing team is afraid 
of body blows aimed at its centre. 

Speed and brains as well as brawn for the 
ends and backs are, therefore, surely the 
essential points to be developed under the new 
rules. 



Football Lessons by Mail 

Until he is able to return to Chicago, Coach 
A. Alonzo Stagg has been instructing the can- 
didates for the University football team by 
mail. Each man has been supplied with copies 
of the new rule book, with explanation and 
notes by Stagg. When he gets back he will 
supplement the correspondence studies with 
regular "chalk talks" and "costume lectures" 




captain folwell 

University of Pennsylvania Football Team 

after practice. Here are some of the points 
emphasized by Stagg on this year's rules : 

Each half will be five minutes longer than 
last year. 

On the first and second downs, instead of 
losing the ball in case a forward pass strikes 
the ground before striking a player of either 
side, the same side retains possession of the 
ball, but loses fifteen yards. 

When the forward pass strikes the ground 
without striking a player on the third down, 
the ball must be surrendered to the defense, as 
was the case last year. 

A line man may carry the ball, provided he 
does not leave his position in the line until the 
ball is put in play. 

The forward pass or tripping or hurdling by 
the >ide that did not place the ball in play 
shall be penalized fifteen yards. 

A man shall be regarded as having "an 
opportunity to make a fair catch" if it is possi- 
ble for, him to reach the ball before it strikes 
the ground. 

If a player other than the one who signals 
on a fair catch catches the ball he may not run 
with it, but the ball shall be down at the point 
where he catches it for a scrimmage.

EVERY FRIDAY 



jiutumn's Dream— An Idyll in Vrose 



i < 'tmtinued from {'<■ 



The beautiful dream was not yet flown. A 
strange sensation, that had been foreign to 
him for several years, crept into his heart, 
and a hot longing for something he did not 
know what, was filling it to bursting. Strange 
thoughts rose in his brain — thoughts that 
seemed foolish to him and which were imme- 
diately defended by a powerful voice that 
mi ■ from his heart: "Why foolish?"— said the 
voice. "Are you not a man in the full en- 
joyment of strength at the apogee of life? 
Would she not be grateful to you for snatch- 
ing her out of this narrow life in which her 
mother has slowly faded away before her 
time? Can you not give her a thousand times 
more than any village teacher or pastor, the 
only men she might marry in this out of the 
way place? Will she not learn to love you 
when she sees how much she will owe you?" 

Doctor Rudiger grew hot all of a sudden, 



her confusion, her reticence had wakened mo i 
extravagant hopes in his heart. As he did 
not leave her, she at last said to him with 
her long dark lashes resting on her rosy 
checks, her voice almost inaudible : 

"The greatest wish of my heart is that you 
should let Mr. Dickmann have the house for 
the price he offered for I know that he can- 
not pay more." 

The doctor felt like a man who had had a 
bowl of cold water thrown over him. lie was 
forced to make a great effort not to betray 
his disappointment as he spoke : 

"That's it ! You seem to take a vivid inter- 
est in this painter, Lienchen, since you know 
so well what his circumstances are." 

"We love — each — other — Doctor. And, — 
because he wants — to take 'me — to thjs house 
— as his wife, — he wishes — to buy it." 

Only now did the poor doctor get fully 




so hot that he could no more stay in his big 
cosy chair. He rose and walked up to the young 
girl who greeted him with the most winning 
smile imaginable. 

"What a sweet little housekeeper, Lienchen ! 
Now that I think, I am ashamed that I have 
forgotten to bring you something from the 
city as is my wont But I will make this 
good and you shall tell me yourself what this 
shall be. You probably have some wish dear 
to your heart. Tell it quickly, and the more 
extravagant it is the gladder I will be. I 
would like to give you a treat, a real big 
treat." 

"I really do not know what to wish, Doc- 
tor. The one thing that would give me joy 
you could not give me." 

"Why not? Is it so very extravagant?" 

"Dreadfully so ! If I should ask it you 
would think me the most unscrupulous thing 
in the world." 

He, however, did not stop urging her to 
tell him her heart's desire, for her blushes, 



awakened from his dream. His head was 
again free of all foolish thoughts as he ans- 
wered : 

"Well, since this is the case — I will see 
the young gentleman — and judge if he really 
is worthy of — the sacrifice. I promise noth- 
ing, however." 

When Doctor Rudiger got into the mail- 
coach that evening he entered it poorer by an 
attractive country place and richer by one more 
experience. He had made a present of his 
house and its dependences to the daughter of 
his early love, and the experience he had 
gleaned was that it is not safe to dream of 
spring when the mists of autumn rise around 
you and the snow of winter is nigh, ready to 
cover with its white winding sheet the spring 
of life and nature alike. 



A Willing Neighbor 

"I want to communicate with you," said a 
house-a-fire to the next dwelling. 

"All right," was the response. "Blaze 
away."

What Are Tfou? 

The Question Supreme. 

What are the questions met by youth on 
every hand? 

What does the world ask most often of 
those who are soon to be its Men and Women, 
its Workers and Rulers? 

There are but two of these questions. 

They are these : 

"What are You Doing?" 
and 

"What/;az'<? you?" 

By these questions the world shows the 
standard by which it is prone to judge. It is 
the Standard of Position and Possession. 

By "what are you doing?" it means to find 
out whether you are a "somebody" or a "no- 
body." Whether you hold a position of emi- 
nence and opportunity, or whether you are 
simply an "insignificant •teller" in the world's 
army. 

By "what have you?" it means to find out 
whether you pdssess the "almighty dollar" in 
great or small amount; whether you are able 
to entertain your friends in sumptu us style, 
purchase fine clothes, and regal dwellings, or 
whether you are simply an honest worker with 
no inherited wealth and no social standing 
save the standing of God-given Manhood and 
Womanhood. 

When such questions are the common cry; 
when they stare Youth in the face from every 
side, is it strange that Youth catches the spirit 
of them and puts forth all its efforts to answer 
them, and them only? 

It is not strange. 

The fault, then, is not with Youth who 
answers the question. The fault is in those 
who ask the question, and in the question it- 
self. Amid the rush and glamour of a mate- 
rialistic period, the supreme issue is overlooked, 
and therefore the supreme question is not 
asked. 

And what is the supreme question? This: 

"What are you?" 

Yes, that is it. "What are you?" Are you 
Yourself? The true, honorable, man-loving, 



God-loving Self, which God meant you to be? 

"What are you?" 

That is the question. And until it becomes 
the Question of Questions — as in reality it is — 
Youth will find no answer for it, simply be- 
cause Youth is almost unaware that such a 
question can be asked. 

Ask that question. 

"What are you?" 

Ask it! Ask it? 

Expect others to answer it aright, and be 
able to answer it aright yourself! 



Day's Golden Gifts 

A WeeK=End Thought 

Day cometh to us like a beautiful woman, 
clad in the splendid robes of sunrise and 
crowned with a diadem of fair jewels. Her 
cheeks are rosy with new life, and her eyes 
glow the brighter for a night's sweet sleep. 

She is good indeed to look upon, for her 
face is comely and her form a very symphony 
of curves. Yes, she is wondrous fair, but 
equally fair are the bright gems she brings to 
us in her milk-white hands. Bright gems of 
molten gold, which seem to pulse with light 
and beauty. 

These gems are the minutes, golden oppor- 
tunities which may be- wrought into tiaras of 
noble acts and scepters of kindly deeds. 

How freely she extends the precious gems ! 
With what infinite trust and confidence does 
she give them to our care! Beautiful as they 
are, they are ours without the asking; ours to 
cluster into crowns, ours to drop by the way- 
side or scatter among the weeds of idleness. 

Let us not abuse Day's gentle generosity, 
but let us accept the priceless gifts with all 
good grace, and strive to use them worthily 
and well. So shall we be able to lie down in 
peace when Night cometh, and to rise up to 
greet Day's eyes, guileless and unashamed. 

Handbook of Civic Progress 

All who are interested in fine political issues 
should read the editorial departments of the 
"Arena." "The Mirror of the Present," says 
one reader, "is a monthly, magazine of ammu- 
nition for friends of the Republic of the fath- 
ers, while the departments conducted by Mr. 
Ralph Albertson and Robert Tyson dealing 
with the news of the day as it relates to Pub- 
lic-Ownership, Direct-Legislation, Coopera- 
tion and Proportional Representation, make 
the "Arena" a complete hand-book of pro- 
gressive government and civic progress that 
is not approached in value by any other pub- 
lication in America or Europe." 



Touring in Canada 

This is the ideal time of the year for touring 
and no doubt many will take a trip into Can- 
ada Members of the Rochester Automobile 
Club should bear in mind that the club has 
made arrangements by which any member may 
cross into the Dominion without the large ex- 
pense, trouble and loss of time necessary to 
gain an entrance to that country.

tell you, I believe in economy wherever possi-

goes. Why, before I knew it this afternoon,

"So it does, that's a fact. But by next

promised I might have to help me with the

by doubt. "But those awful bills," she said. 
"I used to pay the bills first, to be sure the 
tad debt collector wouldn't get after me." 

She whirled in her chair in startled femi-

"Would the)', those horrid men, do such a 
thing as that?" 

"They certainly would, if you delayed too 
long," he solemnly replied.

would they wait?" 

"Oh, about seven or eight weeks."

"And it's been such a relief not to have 
those debts to worry me," he emulated. 

"Bert," straightening up with an appealing 
look, "if I'll give you all the money every 
week, will you try and — and — straighten things 
up for me? I'll give you every cent — until 
you can get another position. Then you'll 
have to trade back." 

"Another position I" he echoed, with af-

F you are contemplating the purchase of a Motor Car and 
want one that will give satisfaction, you should consider 
only the best. A little more money invested in the beginning 
will save you much annoyance and many dollars in repairs and 
cost of maintenance. 



CJ We handle a line of cars that are without the slightest doubt the best the market affords. 
They are all of the highest standard of American manufacture and are considered as favorably abroad 
as they are in this country. 

q Such cars as the PIERCE-ARROW, STEVENS-DURYEA, STEARNS and LOCOMOBILE 
and POPE WAVERLEY ELECTRIC all rank among the foremost of American cars and should 
be carefully considered by the prospective purchaser. 





<I For 1908 we shall have the usual number of four cylinder and three makes of six cylinder cars, 

affording a wide range in size, style and price. 

•J In as much as the six cylinder car has many advantages over the four and is fast coming into 

favor, it would be well for you to look into the matter and let us show you by a demonstration 
some good reasons why you might pre!er it to a four. We are taking orders for 1908 now and it will pay you to investigate before 
it is too late to get a good delivery.

The Best to be Had 

in Men's Clothing 



Garments That Mirror Correct Styles; Perfect Fitting; Swell Looking and Modest in Cost 



9&i 




We illustrate to-dav one of our newest 
garments, drawn from life, on a figure here in 
the store. It shows at a glance, the character 
of Men's Apparel we have for you. 

Observe particularly the correct shoulder 
lines; the excellent taper to the waist; the nat- 
ty cut in front; the exceedingly stylish lapel 
with vent; the shapeliness of the trousers. In 
fact, all the touches that go to make the best 
of Clothing. 

From the lines now here — representing 
the best products we know, you are invited to 
make vour Fall selection. 

Suits at $10 to $35 

We would not sell you a Suit below Ten Dollars — for it is 
the lowest possible price for which a dependable garment can be 
manufactured, out of materials that will give you reliable and sat- 
isfactory service. 

The Suits here at $10 are remarkable value — made out of 
fabrics you'll admire for their beauty and wearing qualities. 

Better Suits at $12.50, Si 5, S 1 8 and upwards. 

Figure that at about the price you are prepared to pay, v\e 
will give you the MOST for your money — and our guarantee is 
so broad and liberal that what you get must please you — thorough- 
ly — or else it will come back to us. 

Overcoats at $12 to $55 

Practically all the worthy fabrics are represented in the Coats 
at Twelve Dollars — and there is an endless assortment of styles at 
every price, up to the finest garment we carry — a strictly custom- 
made one at $55. 

Rain Coats, too — the ideal garment for the man who wants 
something to serve him at all times, and in all places. 

Locally we look to Hickey & Freeman Company for our 
source of supply. We know of no better garments than theirs — 
more value for the money in fact than in any other kind. These 
we supplement with the famous product from the House of Kup- 
penheimer — being the exclusive selling agent in this vicinage.

Czars of Neto York State 

The Speaker of the Assembly is Practically as Powerful as the Speaker of Congress — 

What Political Evolution Has Done 



MUCH has appeared in the public prints 
about the "Czar" who sits in the 
speaker's chair in the National House of 
Representatives and the immense power he 
wields arbitrarily. 

Not nearly so much is written about the 
"Czar" of New York state yet the Speaker of 
the Assembly is well-nigh as important a per- 
sonage, and political evolution has placed in 
his hands power equal to that held by the 
Speaker of Congress. 

Probably not one person in twenty-five stops 
to consider the immensity of New York's 
resources. "Empire State" is an apt descrip- 
tion, commercially speaking. Within her con- 
fines are the largest city in the United States 
and another, equal in population to that of 
the combined capitals of half a dozen smaller 
states. Rochester is booked to enter the first- 
class rank in a few months. Then there are 
six cities of the second class, a score and more 
cities of the third class besides a myriad of 
incorporated towns and villages. The assessed 
valuation of New York state is $8,524,002,864. 
Two counties show a valuation of more than 
a billion dollars. Six counties are assessed 
at over one hundred million dollars, Monroe 
contributing $173,752,231. 

New York state's network of railroads, 
steam and trolley, represent valuations of hun- 
dreds of millions of dollars. Probably every 
known industry is represented within the con- 
fines of this Empire State, certainly every 
nationality on the face of the globe is. Her 
bank clearances are immense, so arc her re- 
sources. 

All this vast wealth is subject to the State 
Government. Of this the head is the Gov- 
ernor as the executive branch. He has great 
powers, but while he may recommend and 
veto he cannot enact legislation. The Legis- 
lature can botli initiate legislation and pass 
it over the Governor's veto. It can amend 
the State Constitution and present it to the 
people for approval without consulting the 
Governor at all. 



WILLARD A. MARAKLE 




JAMES w". WADSWORTH. JR. 

The youthful "Czar" of New York's lower house, whose 

antecedents are aristocratic and whose legislative 

career smacks of the "autocratic" 

The Legislature is divided into two 
branches, the Senate and the Assembly, the 
members of the first being elected for two 
years and the latter for one year. Senators 
and assemblymen receive the same salary — 
$1,500 a year. This is far too little remuner- 
ation for high-class men, too much for men 
of yielding dispositions and weak spines. 



Over the Senate presides the lieutenant- 
governor, a personage once described by 
Theodore Roosevelt as a sort of fifth wheel to 
a wagon and, politically, of as much con- 
sequence as the vice-president of the United 
States who occupies the same relation to the 
Federal Senate. The lieutenant-governor is a 
constitutional officer elected by the people in 
general election. One of his functions is to 
preside over the Senate. He is not a member 
of that body and has no voice or vote on final 
passage of bills. When the senate contains a 
majority of hostile political faith the lieu- 
tenant-governor is not permitted to name the 
committees. 

On the other hand, the speaker of the As- 
sembly is chosen from its membership and 
has a voice and vote the same as any other 
member, if he chooses to exercise it. Inas- 
much as he belongs to the political party then 
dominant in the house, he names the commit- 
tees. This prerogative has not been exercised 
in the past, by some speakers. The state 
political leader was wont to select the member- 
bership of the committees and after his O K. 
had been affixed, the speaker would announce 
them as his own. During the last two years, 
however, the republican party in the State 
has not owned a leader, so Speaker Wads- 
worth has appointed his own committees. 

Within the last fifteen years a practice has 
grown up which is viewed with alarm by 
many students of political affairs. Included 
in the committees of the Assembly is one 
called "Rules." In the closing days of the 
annual sessions, all committees go out of ex- 
istence and "Rules" takes full charge. It makes 
up the calendars, decrees what bills shall or 
shall not be considered, what amendments may 
be made, in fact is in absolute control, the 
rules of the Assembly requiring 100 affirma- 
tive votes out of the membership of 150 to 
override decisions of "Rules." As the Speaker 
is chairman, naturally he names only his 
friends to membership, hence as a matter of

ROCHESTER, N. Y.. OCTOBER 11, 1907 



Who Spends Your Money? 

*-pHE Flagellants, a sect of frenzied monks who whip themselves 
until the reddened welts on their persecuted bodies drip blood, 
and do it in the name of religion, are adjudged insane by the 
kindly-minded. But what shall be said of the average citizen or 
the thrifty farmer of Western New York who supplies the lashes 
to his tormentors? 

In the banks of Buffalo, Syracuse and Rochester and in smaller 
towns in Western New York there are deposits amounting to over 
$600,000,000. How much of that sum is actually in the coffers is 
problematical— in all probability $100,000,000 is a very high esti- 
mate—the remaining HALF A BILLION DOLLARS is "invested" 
by directors— not always conservatively but sometimes, and far too 
often, it is used for exploitation. Take the directorate of any large 
bank in this territory— how many names appear on the directorates 
of other banks or public-service corporations? A cursory examina- 
tion of the situation in Rochester shows that many, very many, 
men of wealth appear as directors in several financial institutions- 
one man has an interest in no less than six financial institutions 
either as a director or stockholder! Is this safe and wise? Can 
that man discharge his duties as director of one solvent institution 
when he knows or can know that another, in which he is interested, 
is tottering? Do the banking laws intend any such a situation? 

But who "invests" your money? If a gas-company decide to 
water its stock the banks furnish the capital of depositors to take 
up inflated securities and we have the paradox of the people paying, 
through exorbitant prices for a cheapened product, the dividends on 
their own capital. If a rural trolley line is to be constructed the 
farmers' deposits are again "invested" and he has the experience of 
paying a high fare for the privilege of riding in the coaches and 
over the rails that his own money has paid for. Does an aroused 
public demand better street car or better passenger and freight 
service on a steam road? A convenient bond-issue is made for 
"betterments", the banks buy the bonds and the poor sucker depositor 
again "pays the freight." 

How far this over-lapping of names and men in bank director- 



ates points towards danger is yet unestimated but there is danger 
there. How far this close cabal assists the game of "investment" 
that makes the public pay for the enjoyment of its own money is 
a problem. Already in New York city the public is scrutinizing 
directorates — already there is protest. It is only a question of time 
when Western New York, where the situation is especially vicious, 
will awake. 

"Talk about the confidential attitude of banks" said a prom- 
inent merchant, "why, if I borrow $5,000 from my bank of deposit 
every other financial institution in the city knows of the transaction 
in an hour and loose tongues are wagging." 

And there is the situation in a nutshell. 



IT is a curious fact that in all the discussion of candidates for 
* the Court of Appeals judgeships there is no inquiry as to fit- 
ness or records on the bench. No, the bench must be kept non- 
partisan — it is enough, it seems, that one judge is nominally a repub- 
lican and one nominally a democrat. What a farce the slogan of 
a "non-partisan" judiciary really is! 



A Man Dies 

A man died the other day. Not a very illuminating bit of news 
■**■ is it? But men die every day. This man differed from some 
of the clods we send back to mother earth in that he was a real 
man. For him the sun always shone, the skies were always fair, 
the breezes cool, man divine and the world lovely. He knew not 
the sordid things yet he knew suffering and it dignified him. He 
was penniless at death and never above poverty in life, but his heart 
was a jewel and his soul a pearl of price. A grudging city furnished 
his coffin — a hireling few hurried the poor clay to its cramped 
resting place. Withered sod covered the rough-box and his name, 
in a short week, is forgotten by those who buried him. 

But the memory of him lives yet; it will never wither in the 
hearts of those who knew him well. A city crossing-sweeper, 
born in Dublin, shunted forth with other souls from the land of 
his pitiful birth, stirred at his first foot-tread in a new land by the 
drums of a regiment hurrying to war, to enlist, leaving the army 
only when Appomattox fell, marching in that glorious review which 
all the world remembers, he came years ago an humble suppliant 
for work to the city where for thirty-five years he labored menially. 
But his charity was great. Three years ago he lived for more than 
two months for the meagre sum of twenty-five cents a day in order 
that a stranger-woman and her three babes might live as well. 
Two years ago, for twenty long sweltering August nights, after 
days of toil, he nursed a lonely new-landed Irish lad to health. 
Lowly, bent with rheumatism, he always hastened to help the blind 
across the crowded street, he piloted the stranger, he tenderly guided 
the children. Two weeks before he died a vagrant bird, with broken 
wing wandered far from its haunts and fell gasping at the sweeper's 
feet. The old man laid aside his broom, obtained absence from his 
employer, counted carfare from his little store and sought the 
farthest edge of a city park, the maimed bird carefully carried in 
his bosom. It was rough surgery that treated the injured wing. 
It must have been hard for the old man to sleep in the bushes in 
a secluded spot for four whole days until the bird could join its 
kind again. The exposure of that four days, treating and protect- 
ing that injured bird brought on the illness that spelled death to the 
old crossing-sweeper. Crazy, you say? The world would be better 
for more such dementia

Bits of Philosophy 

Be a master "f your momeni . so that you may not be a slave 
in your years. 

Don'l show the little mind b; howing the "big head." 

Poverty is the tax we pay for bad habits. 

It is cheerfulness thai teaches us always to lu>l<l in view the 
better side of one's nature. Ii is the fountain in the desert — the 
bird that sings in the solitude. 

Genius is simply a disposition to take infinite pains. 

Many men make success by making use of their failures. Know- 
ing a man's mistake is as valuable as knowing the "secret of his 
in i ess." 

A tack points heavenward when it means the most mischief. 
It lias many human imitators these days. 

"Luck" — the failure's idea of the other fellow's success. 

"Pluck" — the spirit in a man who doesn't understand the mean- 
ing of despair. 

A lazy man has to work hard to find an easy job. 

Success makes a fool seem wise. Failure makes the wise man 
appear foolish. 

In the land of promise men die of hunger — perform things; 
do it wow. 

If people were as careful of the speech brought into their homes, 
as they are of the pictures, carpets and furniture, there would be 
more conditions of happiness — the tongue can he your best friend, 
or your worst enemy. There are few factors more conducive to 
home happiness than right conversation ; yet what little thought is 
given to it. 



Have We Too Many Churches? 

I J AVE we too many churches' Sometimes we hear this protest 
* *■ against the saloon, but it remains for a Rochester minister, 
Rev. Ray Allen, to declare that "Rochester has too many Protestant 
churches. The close on to 100 churches in the city are too many, 
and many are illy located in places where they have sprung up with- 
out forethought or plan." 

This is not the denunciation of agnosticism, the spleening of 
a heretic or a bid for sensationalism. It means that the progressive 
business spirit of the age asserts itself even in the affairs of the 
church. Mr. Allen views the saving of souls as a business, to be 
criticized boldly, to be administered methodically, to be carried on 
as a competitive institution against the forces of crime, hopeless- 
ness, poverty and degradation. The church is one of the weapons 
of civilization. Here is a man. one of its apostles, who dares be 
frank, who, youthfully iconoclastic, deals a blow at the tradition 
that "the Lord ordains" in the matter of the location of churches. 

Do liquor dealers seek to locate in colonies? Do business men 
jam their great trade institutions side by side? What is the reason 
for the corner-grocery in every section of the city? Does a farmer 
till only one acre of bis quarter-section until it is no longer fallow 
und? Does the government segregate its armed forces for de- 
fense in one garrison? 

Mr. Allen's criticism is pertinent He means that the Protestant 
church lacks the foresight of the ordinary tradesman in establishing 
its places ^i business; that too much has been blindly left to the 
"ordainment of the Lord" and too little to organization; that the 
Protestant church has been lacking in its great crusade because 
its business heads have not set-up their institutions with a view to 



ering mosl perfcci the trade-an ts! I >•■ much attention has 

been p. ml i nvi ■< smug worshi] . little to the 

besl plan for accommodating and attracting and reaching th 

still out nl, the pale. 

Ami, bj compari on, the Protestant church suffers. The great 

Catholic church is organized its edifices and its religious homes 
arc erected in no haphazard manner. It is the great missionary 
Church the church thai sees a new "trade-ana" and covers it. 

There is no antagonism no denominationalism. All is co-operation. 
Each parish docs nol crowd its neighbor all work, like the har- 
monious component of i well-organized department store, for the 

common end. The Protestant church might well imitate its great 
sister in thi- re pi I I 

Will Mr. Allen's criticism profit nothing? Will the churches 
heed' We do not know hut we do know that Mr. Allen is a man 
of courage — he has dared. 



THE ubiquitous Mr. Taft very calmly impresses upon the 
Japanese mind the fact that Uncle Sam is not seeking war 
and that Japan isn't especially belligerent either. All of which may 
be true; but it must amuse the subjects of the Mikado to be sub- 
jected to mind-reading of the Taft variety. 



The Latest in Theatrical Ventures 

GREAT possibilities of adding realism- to stage productions are 
foreshadowed in the announcement that Charles Frohman 
has arranged to give theatrical performances on board the big 
Cunard steamships during their passage over the Atlantic. Hence- 
forth, there need be no further occasion to announce "elapsed time," 
if it is only the matter of a day or two, between the acts. Audience 
and actors can be transported together and the play continued at 
the correct intervals. 

For example, Act I of the melodrama "Nellie the Typewriter, 
or How She Suffered. Poor Thing!" is played in Liverpool on 
Friday night. As the programme states that one day is supposed 
to intervene between Acts I and II, the entire "house"; together 
with the actors and scenery, etc., is taken at once on board the 
Lusitania which sails on Saturday afternoon and the performance 
is continued that evening on the way to Queenstown. Four days 
are now required before the stirring events of Act III, during which 
the heroine loops-the-loop and climbs the North Pole in order to 
escape the villain's hirelings, can be presented. This brings us 
close to Sandy Hook and the final act "twelve hours later" is given 
in the "Cunard Company's Own Theatre" erected on the dock in 
Xew York and connected with the steamship by a direct gangway. 

Thus the twentieth century theatrical manager not only pro- 
vides us with the mosl thrilling mental diversions but includes the 
price of a trip across the ocean with the admission ticket.

A Day on A Pony Farm 



FRANK A. WOOD 



A day on a pony farm ! What dreams this idea 
brings to the average boy or girl who 
never experienced the sensation of seeing a 
field fairly alive with the little animals! Eight 
miles from Rochester may be seen a sight the 
equal of which is rare indeed. The Pittsford 



ward his charges solved the problem. Scat- 
tering oats on the ground the manager whis- 
tled a few short notes. The transformation 
was wonderful. From every section of the 
field, over hills and along little ravines, trotted 
the pets. And what are these tiny, sheeplike 




THE HERD 



Farms lie almost within the heart of that 
pretty village and any time a person may 
visit the spot and have a full day of enjoy- 
ment. One hundred miniature specimens of 
the horse world romp the acreage with unre- 
strained freedom until some boy or girl fan- 
cies a certain one and decides upon a pur- 
chase. 

Fred Cook, manager of the pony department 
of the farms, knows the whims and habits of 
these little pets as few others know them. He 
has been raising ponies for 16 years at Pitts- 
ford, being head keeper of the herd for Mrs. 
E. F. Hawley, who owns the farms. Every 
pony seems to know Mr. Cook. 

When an Every Friday representative and 
a staff photographer entered a large field in 
which were more than 50 ponies, with a view 
of taking the accompanying picture of the ani- 
mals, the first thought was how Mr. Cook 
would round up the herd and get them to pose. 
The result of years of love and kindness to- 



objects running along in eager anticipation of 
something which has attracted the attention 
of the others? They are baby ponies! See 
them come. Cantering alongside their moth- 
ers, confiding in the older knowledge, they 
prick up their ears at the sound of the call. 

The guardian of the welfare of every mem- 
ber of his unique family is almost carried off 
his feet by the crowding of the ponies about 
the oat measure in his hand. He knows them 
all by their individual names and a quick word 
from Mr. Cook brings good behavior through- 
out the herd. Each one appears to be really 
offended if their master fails to take notice of 
the mute request for a caress. To speak of 
a whip or coercion among this unusual gath- 
ering is deeply to offend Mr. Cook. The 
ponies know when they are being scolded and 
the spoken word of command suffices to bring 
obedience. 

While the natural instinct is to shun the 
stranger, the ponies seem to invite advances 




A THREE MONTHS' BABY 

when these are kindly intended. Their coats 
are very soft just now when winter is ap- 
proaching. They seldom go indoors, prefer- 
ing the outdoor life which is best for them. 
Separate a mother from her young and the 
result is interesting. No matter how large 
the assemblage at the time she will instinct- 
ively seek out her offspring, and if the period 
of separation has been long, she will start off 
from the others and see to it that her babe 
follows her. 

These ponies may all be driven by children. 
They are intended for the younger members 
of the family and develop for children a lik- 
ing only equaled by the dog. The Pittsford 
Farm ponies have traveled far and wide, hav-

THOSE who visited the Bostock Wild Ani- 
mal Show . < Ontario Beach Pai k, during 
the summer, have seen an attractative young 
girl put two snarling leopards through a num- 
ber of clever tricks. The youth of the ^irl. 
her courage, and the perfect control she lias over 
the animals, have made her a figure of interest 
to those who regard animal training as some- 
thing better than a mere pastime for an idle 
hour. 

Miss Miriam Holland is said to the young- 
est trainer of wild animals now before the 
American public. She is 17 years old, and 
was not, as are most trainers, brought up in 
the business. She entered the arena for the 
first time four months ago. She was born in 
Freeland, Penn., and as a little girl gave 
promise of a remarkably good voice.' Long 
before she had the least knowledge of her in- 
fluence over the beasts of the jungle, Miss 
Holland's friends were predicting flattering 
things for her future as a singer. 



The animals which Miss Holland has 
working with are two beautiful East African 
leopards, and a young puma. She comes into 
the arena protected only by a whip, and a small 
two-pronged instrument resembling a pitch- 
fork. She never carries firearms. 

Leopards are clever, and learn their tricks 
quicker than most wild animals; but this very 
cleverness is what makes the work of train- 
ing them so difficult. Cunning and treacher- 
ous, like all the cat family, they are ever watch- 
ful, and quick to seize an advantage. Let 
their trainer forget the least detail of their 
act, let her be pre-occupied or nervous, and 
the animals are conscious of the fact at once. 
Although Miss Holland has been training so 
short a time, she has experienced many a 
"close call." 

It is the instinct of the leopard to spring 
at the throat, and on one occasion when put- 
ting her animals through their tricks, the elec- 
tric lights went out suddenly, leaving the place

MISS MIRIAM HOLLAND 
Youngest Trainer of Wild Animals now Before the American Public 



There is nothing of the proverbial "circus 
woman" about Miss Holland. She is a pretty, 
healthy-looking girl, with rather a childish an- 
pearance. She is full of enthusiasm about 
her work, and has an intense love for wild 
animals. 

How she came into the work, was, as she 
says herself, almost an accident. It was while 
attending a Bostock animal show in her native 
town, that the desire to do this work first 
came to Miss Holland. She thereupon 
applied to Mr. Bostock, and chose her ani- 
mals. When asked what her sensations were 
upon entering the arena for the first time, Miss 
Holland laughed heartily and said : 

"I felt too awkward for words. You see 
when a new trainer comes into the arena, the 
animals simply lie down flat on the floor and 
won't move — that is, until they know they 
have to." This seems to be a way the beasts 
have of "sizing up" a new trainer. 



in total darkness. Quick as a flash one of 
the leopards sprang at her. The weight of 
the animal nearly threw the girl from her feet, 
but by good fortune she struck out with her 
arm, thus receiving the wound there, and in 
all probability saving her life. 

Another night when the lights were dim, the 
two leopards, "Prince" and "Pudding," found 
each other's society obnoxious, and engaged in 
a furious battle. Separation seemed impos- 
sible. "Well, I just lost my patience at that," 
Miss Holland admitted, "and I said, 'Well, 
go ahead, then,' and they did, until they had it 
out." 

The leopards never tolerate any but their 
present trainer in the cage with them. One 
day the man who had "broken in" Miss Hol- 
land's animals attempted to enter, thinking 
they remembered him, but they rushed upon 
him furiously, and, but for the fact that he 
was holding a chair in front of him, would 



have torn him to pieces. It even angers them 
to have people stand too close to the outside 
of the arena, while they arc performing, and 
once when the manager of the show was stand- 
ing close to the bars during their act, one of 
the leopards crouched low, and sprang clear 
across the arena at him. 

When asked if she actually enjoyed the 
"danger" of the life, Miss Holland smiled 
rather ruefully, and showed the ugly marks 
and scars with which her hands and arms were 
covered. As for the pretty dress she was 
wearing — it was ripped and torn in a thousand 
pieces. She said the leopards never let her 
keep a gown whole very long. However, Miss 
Holland admitted that the more the animals 
fought, and resisted her, the better she liked 
it. The fear they have of her is almost incredible. 
Often, when she puts away her whip, and 
stands between the animals, absolutely with- 
out any defense, with a snarl one of them 
grabs her dress, but merely by looking at him, 
and pointing her finger, he is cowed, and slinks 
away. 

With all their traits, the animals are in their 
strange way wonderfully attached to Miss 
Holland, and often when she passes their 
cage, she puts in her hand and they lick it. 

The only part of her act which tries her 
physically, and which by the way is the most 
daring of her feats, is the finale, when she 
carries Pudding off the stage on her should- 
ers. She weighs 150 pounds. "He has a fine 
chance at me then, only he does not know it." 
she said, laughing. 

Miss Holland has chosen animal training for 
her life work. She says she realizes that it 
is a hard life, and that even for one who has 
no fear, it is still a strain to go into the arena 
three or four times a day; but, of course, 
nothing is counted hard, when it is really 
loved, and Miss Holland certainly loves her 
work. Miss Holland will spend most of her 
time while abroad in Paris. 

"I hope always to work with leopards," Miss 
Holland said, "because I am fond of them." 



Perchance 

Her radiant cheeks the sunbeams kiss, 

The winds caress her hair; 
Fair flowers and herbs in fragrant bliss 

Her fairy footsteps bear. 

While I, with midnight lamp aflame, 
Imprisoned heart, dream-tortured brain. 

Envy, methinks because I'm sad, 
The stars that see her and are glad. 

Perchance some day, my secret known. 

And cradled passion free, 
Through smiles and tears, in sacred tone, 

She'll plight her love to me !

The Millionaire Vampire 



Mysterious Mechanism by Which a Man of Wealth Drained Lives of Others to Maintain 

His Physical Strength— The Result 



D 



other times my health couldn't be bet- 
ter, but the moment I crossed Center street to 
enter East Station I feel a peculiar sensation of 
weakness, followed by a slight touch of ver- 
tigo. It is over in a moment and physically 
I seem none the worse afterwards, but its regu- 
lar and persistent occurrence has begun to 
worry me considerably. How do you account 
for it?" 

Doctor Winter deliberated a moment before 
replying, and then, physician-like, his answer 
took the form of a question. 

"When did you first notice this?" 

"About three weeks ago." 

"Ah !" The physician seemed suddenly to 
be lost in some abstruse mental problem, when 
his patient became alarmed at his silence and 
demanded, "Is it anything serious?" 

"No, no, no, ! Just a little eccentricity of 
your nervous system. No doubt at some time 
while entering East Station you were momen- 
tarily indisposed, and your imagination per- 
sists in reflecting the symptoms.. Pay 
no attention to these feelings. Some ail- 
ments are like dogs — they snap at us if we 
mark them, but let us alone if we pay them 
no heed." 

"I will endeavor to do so, but I assure you, 
doctor, these feelings are as far from fancy 
as is — a dog bite." 

"A good figure!" laughed the other. "But 
take my advice and see what comes of it. 
Imagination is not everything, but most dis- 
eases can use it as a back stair to get at us. 
Good day, sir; good day." 

When the patient had gone out Doctor 
Winter began pacing his office. "That's the 
ninth party that has come to me this week 
with the same complaint!" he exclaimed. "And 
I can vouch for the truth of these symptoms, 
as I have experienced them myself." He 
shook his head in emphatic denial of some 
unspoken speculation. "No, it is not possible 
that it can be an epidemic, for it is too rigidly 
local to East Station; besides, it bears every 
stamp of human agency. I believe I will look 
into this matter personally." 

An hour later, attired in an easy-fitting, in- 
conspicuous sack suit, Doctor Winter took his 
stand against a granite pillar to the left of 
the entrance of East Station, and watched the 
never-ending stream of men and women pour 
by towards the express and suburban trains. 

He had not stood there five minutes before 
he was positive of the fact that as th» human 
stream poured up over the nearest curbstone 
it wavered, swayed from left to right, trem- 
bled an instant, then rushed on through /.he 
wide entrance of the station, unconscious in its 



DON MARK LEMON 

haste that there had been a slight irregularity 
in its general movement. 

As an elderly lady passed him, the doctor 
heard her remark to her companion : "I al- 
ways feel how tired I am, just as I enter the 
station." 

"It's the same with me," replied her friend. 
"And sometimes I am actuall}' dizzy for a 
moment. But I am so glad to be going home 
that I never pay any attention to how I feel." 

Doctor Winter's eye caught the gleam of a 
large lens in the window of a questionable 
physician's establishment located just down the 
street, and a sudden suspicion flashed into his 
mind. Could this physician have invented a 
powerful electric reflector of some sort, capa- 
ble of exhausting the nervous energy of the 
man or woman whose eyes it was turned upon, 
and was he making use of it to sicken the 
thousands of hurrying pedestrians in hopes 
that many would seek his office to gain relief 
from what would seem imminent or present 
illness ? 

A moment's thought banished this suspi- 
cion as illogical. The mysterious influence at 
work was too slight and transient in its ef- 
fect to alarm the most timid. 

He now left the protection of the granite 
pillar and mingling with the throng crossed 
over and stood on the edge of the curbstone, 
which he had observed was the line of influ- 
ence. Noting the effect carefully, he found 
himself growing slightly languid and weak, 
then a bit dizzy, whereupon he stepped back 
upon the walk and the unpleasant feeling left 
him almost immediately. 

A man-hole at the corner was sending forth 
a low, white vapor after the heavy rain, but a 
careful test satisfied the doctor that the feel- 
ing of lassitude and vertigo could not have 
been caused by the inhalation of poisonous 
gas escaping from this conduit. 

Suddenly his glance rested upon a thin, dull 
colored metal strip fixed wedge-like between 
the curbstone and the sidewalk, and extending 
a distance of about twenty-five feet. This 
metal strip was set flush with the walk and 
curb, and its further end ran into a hollow 
iron post that supported one corner of the 
stationary awning extending over the sidewalk 
above the baggage sheds. At a height of eight 
feet he saw that a heavy, insulated wire is- 
sued from a hole in the hollow iron post and 
ran thence along the gutter of the awning for 
a distance of about forty feet, where it crossed 
the street and entered the window just over 
the entrance of a narrow brick and terra-cotta 
office building. 

"So far, it's as plain as a bad case of 
mumps." mused the doctor, elated by his suc- 



cess; "but the other end of the wire is the 
ticklish end." 

Crossing the street he mounted the first 
flight of the brick and terra-cotta building and 
knocked at the door of the room where the 
wire from the baggage sheds entered. A pow- 
erful and fine looking dark haired man about 
forty years of age answered the knock. 

"Well, sir, what do you want?" he de- 
manded, brusquely. 

"Excuse me," replied the doctor, suavely, 
"but I am thinking of renting an office in this 
building and I wished to enquire of you as a 
tenant if the building has good janitor service 
and is well lighted and looked after." 

The other eyed the doctor suspiciously, then 
demanded, "What is your business — Inquiry 
Bureau ?" 

With one swift glance Doctor Winter sur- 
veyed the room. In the center, upon a wooden 
stand, stood a machine having the singular 
appearance of a combined dynamo and genera- 
tor. A telephone on the wall and a single 
chair completed the furnishing of this re- 
markable office. 

"No," smiled the doctor, unruffled by the 
other's sarcasm, "I am a physician, and I was 
thinking of opening a branch office in this 
neighborhood. I am very sorry to have 
troubled you. You are an electrician, I see." 

The tenant interposed his body between the 
doctors gaze and the machine in the middle 
of the room. "The janitor will give you all 
the information you wish. Good day, sir." 
The door was shut in the doctor's face. 

"Only rascals and inventors are so jeal- 
ously suspicious," mused Doctor Winter as he 
descended the stairs, "and this man is both, 
I suspect. Well, we may meet again, and I 
rather fancy he won't be so churlish as to 
shut a door in my face." There was a cold 
glint in his gray eyes as he noted the number 
of the building he was leaving. 

Shortly after Doctor Winter had left 21 
Center street a lineman ascended to the roof 
and began following up the second and longer 
wire issuing from the office of the mysterious, 
dark haired stranger. It proved to be a 
tramp wire — one belonging to no authorized 
telephone, telegraph, or power company, and 
after several hours of careful and hazardous 
labor he found that at about a mile distant it 
entered the palatial home of an aged million- 
aire. 

This intelligence was received by Doctor 
Winter with evident gratification and paying 
the young lineman liberally he dismissed him. 
At once the physician repaired to the address 
where the tramp wire ended, and writing

The Fair Queen of the 
Ka=noo=no KarnWal 




MISS REBA HITCHCOCK 
"She moves a goddess and s/ie looks a queen" — Pope. 

THE poet's lines describe Miss Reba Hitchcock, queen of the Ka-noo-no Karnival. There is 
one institution that Syracuse is pretty proud of, and it is one of the newest. It's only a few- 
years old, but a thriving youngster, and growing fast. It made a pretty good sized part of the 
world sit up and take notice this year, for Xew York state is a good piece of earth, and all New 
York state was interested in and entertained by the Ka-noo-no Karnival of 1907. 

No carnival is complete without a queen. Of course there is a king, but it is the queen that 
appeals to the populace. This is a mighty democratic country, but every mother's son has an 
unconfessed liking for royalty, even if it is only imitation royalty, and for a week Syracuse and 
New York state worshipped at the throne of the queen 01 Ka-noo-no, Miss Reba Hitchcock. 

No more beautiful queen ever graced a royal throne, even since the days of Cleopatra, than 
this society favorite of Syracuse. She looked the part; she played the part, and, her purple robes 
of state graced shoulders made to wear the ermine. She wore them as though to the manor born. 

Of James street, where aristocrats dwell and where fortune ever smiles, she came down the 
long hill, hedged on either side by palatial mansions, to occupy her throne in Clinton square, 
the heart of the Central City of the Empire state. 



Motoring Notes 

No amount of exterior finish can make a 
ilirown-together car equal the performance of 
'iic that is well made. 

The Sultan, who alone of all European sov- 
reigna has until lately withstood the attrac- 
tions of motoring has, through the good offices 
of the Khedive of Egypt, been induced to ac- 
cept a present of an automobile. His majesty 
ed to get into the car until every bit of 
machinery had been taken apart and explained 
to him with the view of proving its solidity. 

To ensure a good light from an acetylene 
lamp, it is important to keep the burner clean. 
This can be done easily by dipping the burner 
in liquor potassi. The burner should then be 
washed in alcohol. 

Should gasolene by accident catch fire, the 
most effective way to extinguish it is to stop 
the access of air; that is, smother the flame. 
Since gasolene is lighter than water, it will 
float on the surface of the latter, and any at- 
tempt to extinguish it with water will spread 
the flame. Sand is a good extinguisher, as is 
also aqua ammonia. A large bottle of this 
dashed upon the floor of a motor-house will 
extinguish a stubborn blaze. 



Club Advantages 

The Automobile Club of Buffalo is to have 
a country club house. Buffalo motorists are 
wide awake to the advantages of membership 
in the Buffalo club. If Rochester autoists 
would wake up to the value of organization 
and double the membership of the local club, 
this city could be far ahead of Buffalo, in 
motoring matters. The majority of the motor- 
ists should accept the protection and benefits 
procured by the Rochester Automobile Club 
through its affiliation with the state associ- 
ation, and should be willing to pay their share 
in procuring them, and by giving their as- 
sistance secure even more protection and 
benefits. 

Leaving all other matters out, and taking 
legislation alone, it is hard to understand how 
the motorists of Rochester can enjoy the pro- 
tection given in this respect, knowing that it is 
secured by their fellow motorists who are more 
than willing to do their share by paying their 
dues and belonging to the great association 
which is doing every thing in its power for 
the furtherance and protection of the inter- 
ests of automobilists.

The Orchestra and Orchestral Music 



A Review of the Works of the 



Great Masters— A Tribute to the 
Theodore Thomas 



Achievements of 



THE orchestra in its present complete form, 
is the result of a long development in 
many directions. It is the most perfect means 
for expression in music, and offers to the com- 
poser, the maximum of resources. The in- 
struments of which an orchestra is composed 
are grouped by similarity of construction, and 
are usually classified into three main groups 
as follows : 

1— STRING f Violins— Violoncello. 

INSTRUMENTS ( Violas— Double or contra Bass. 



™ j ttt- j ! Flute— Bassoon. 
Wood Wind | oboe _ci ari net 



2— WIND 

INSTRUMENTS ( Brass Wind {H-n-Tronrtone. 

3— PERCUSSION ( Drums— Triangles. 
INSTRUMENTS | Kettledrums— Cymbals. 

The harp is a stringed instrument but is not 
included in this classification. The string 
quartet forms the foundation of the orchestra 
and "by the manner in which a composer 
makes the string quartet speak the master is 
revealed." The parts written for these instru- 
ments constitute the basis of the entire or- 
chestral composition. 

The combination of instruments used in the 
orchestra, is the result of a definite purpose to 
produce music independent of restrictions that 
existed in the days of the domination of the 
church. 

The early composers before the 17th cen- 
tury, bent their efforts to the production of 
choral music which was sung for many years 
without the support of instruments, then came 
the organ, and later the viols and other in- 
struments as accompaniments to the voices. 

This combination of instruments was not 
according to a system, and the works of the 
composers did not demand them as a support 
to the singers, until Monteverde and Scarlotti 
began their work in the field of opera. They 
were later followed by Bach and Handel, who 
used all the important instruments comprised 
in the modern orchestra except the clarinet, 
which was introduced by Mozart, who also 
pointed the way for use of the trombone. 

Haydn, "the father of the symphony," de- 
termined the course of orchestral development. 
Beethoven established the orchestra as "the 
composer's instrument." With him every 
group of instruments was used with more 
detail to ' produce characteristic effects both 
separately and in combination. 

He did not, however, make use of the harp, 
for, it was not until seven years before the 
great composer's death, that the double-action 
harp was invented by Erard. The modern 
school of orchestration was founded by Hector 
Berlioz (1803-1869) whose genius was essen- 
tially instrumental and symphonie in character. 
Like his great contemporary, Wagner, he 
played but little, and only on such instruments 
as the flute, flageolet and guitar. The orches- 



M. URSULA ROGERSON 

tra was his instrument and he possessed an 
unerring instinct for its capabilities either as 
a whole or in its component parts. In his 
stupendous "Requiem" the climax of orchestral 
concert-music is reached. 

It is to Richard Wagner we must turn for 
beauty of sound and novel tone-colors. Mr. 
Finch says : "Wagner thought out his tone- 
pictures in colors and when his palette did 
not contain the tint his imagination called for, 
he invented it. For example, the dragon in 




THEODORE THOMAS 

"Siegfried" is musically heralded by the un- 
earthly sluggish sounds of the new contra bass 
tuba. 

For the shepherd scene in "Tristan" he had 
specially made to his order a wooden trumpet, 
which enabled him to make the change from 
the shepherd's lament to his joyous strains. 

In "Die Meistersinger" he uses a lute, an 
ox-horn in G flat, and other devices for special 
realistic effects. 

The rainbow scene in "Rheingold" is 
irised in the tones of six harps, and so on, but 
in spite of all this multiplying of particulars, 
Wagner did not change the balance of forces. 



With him as with Beethoven, the strings, 
greatly enriched by subdivisions, continue to 
be the nucleus of the orchestra. 

The highest type of instrumental music is 
the symphony; but the music of the orchestra 
also includes overtures, symphonic poems, tone 
poems and suites, and the concerto for a solo 
instrument with orchestral support. The ma- 
jority of the public has no conception of the 
intellectual and physical power necessary on 
the part of the conductor, to bring out the 
idea of the composer of orchestral works. 
The modern conductor is a mediator between 
the composer and the audience. "He is a 
virtuoso who plays upon men instead of a 
key board, upon a hundred instruments instead 
of one." He is the intermediary who wakens 
music into life and gives an interpretation of 
it to the public. In the progress of music 
culture of today, he is a stupendous power. 

Richard Wagner was the greatest of orches- 
tral conductors, but he has left gifted disciples 
to follow in his foo.tst.eps, among whom may 
be mentioned Theodore Thomas, George 
Henschel, Wilhelm Gericke, Arthur Nikisch, 
Emil Paur, Walter Damrosch, Anton Seidl, 
Frank Van der Stucken, Victor Herbert, 
Frederic Stock and the late Fritz Scheel. 

To Theodore Thomas belongs the credit of 
raising the standard of orchestral work and of 
spreading a popular appreciation of the 
classics in absolute music, throughout the 
United States. From the beginning of his 
labors in New York in 1864 to their close in 
Chicago in 1905, he was continually stimulating 
a love for the best that could be found in 
orchestral productions, and has done more 
than any other maestro to encourage the 
growth of music in this country. Today, Oc- 
tober 11th, we celebrate the seventy-second 
anniversary of his birth, and pay homage to 
the memory of one of the world's greatest 
musical benefactors. 



Rochester musicians will be interested to 
know that Franz Kneisel has engaged Willem 
Willeke to succeed Alwin Schroeder as 'cellist 
in his quartette. Mr. Willeke is a native of 
Rembrandt's country, and has belonged to the 
Vienna Opera Orchestra.

play, but in all of them I hope you will find 
a new touch. The curtain will be rung at 
9 o'clock and the bill will be changed every 
five weeks. 

"I would like it understood that in declin- 
ing free seats to critics and others, there is no 
feeling of dislike or animosity. It is simply 
this : We have a small theatre, very few seats, 
and not being subsidized by the government, 
cannot indulge in dramatic philanthropy. No 
fair minded person would allow the fact that 
he must pay $2 for his seats to interfere with 
his opinion." 

In stating that he will do no newspaper ad- 
vertising, Mr. Daly says that his only hope for 
support is by building up a patronage among 
those who really want to see something that 
is well written, capably acted and staged more 
with a view to "carrying out the atmosphere

Forbes Robertson Overworked 

t 

IT has just been learned with regret that we 
are not to see Forbes Robertson here this 
winter after all. Continued ill health has 
caused Mr. Robertson to request his American 
managers to cancel his tour for 1907-'08. His 
break down is said to be due the strenuous 
work and long journeys he was forced to 
make in this country last season and he had 
to take up more engagements immediately on 
reaching London again. 

Forbes Robertson is so intensely engrossed 
in every character he plays that his acting 
calls forth much mental and physical exertion. 
Of a high-strung and somewhat nervous dis- 
position, the continued strain on him not only 
as leading actor but stage manager of his own 
productions is bound to tell its talc unless the 
in rest and recreation are forthcoming. 
This has been almost impossible with him for 
the last two years. All students of the drama 
will wish him a speedy recovery to sound 
health. 




HERE IS "PETER PAN." 

Miss Maude Adams comes back with Barrie's delightful 
"Fairiette Fantasy" next Monday. 



ing the play from out of town — that the eve- 
ning performances will begin promptly at 8:15 
and end at eleven. 

The story of the play appeals to men and 
women of all ages, to say nothing of the 
children, with all the fancy and imagination 
that can be brought to bear upon it. Mr. and 
Mrs. Darling, a young couple, have three 
children, Wendy, John and Michael— and a

No International Clash on Golf Rules 



IT is a matter for some congratulation to 
•*• those who have the true interests of the 
game at heart on both sides of the Atlantic, 
that the possibility of any breach between the 
Royal and Ancient Society of Golfers of St. 
Andrews and the United States Golf Asso- 
ciation now seems very remote, and the recent 
invitation which has been accepted by C. B. 
MacDonald, our first amateur champion, to 
become a member of the Rules Committee of 
St. Andrews, further strengthens this belief. 

This committee meets next May and it was 
the very plainly, though politely, worded re- 
quest of the U. S. G. A. which was forwarded 
to St. Andrews last July, calling for a general 
revision of the rule code to meet the condi- 
tions under which the game is played in this 
country, that made it evident to the parent 
body that it would certainly be the best policy 
to at least consider the suggestions that were 
offered from this side. 

The St. Andrews Society of Scotland stands 
in its relation to golf just as the Marylebone 
Club of London is recognized as the govern- 
ing body of the cricket world and while the 
U. S. G. A. has always proved most loyal to 
St. Andrews, it was felt that, to use the con- 
cluding words of the letter addressed this sum- 
mer to Captain Burn, chairman of the Rules 
Committee, "the time has come for a revision 
of the rules. We do not mean by this that 
the existing rules are seriously at fault in 
matter of substance or that an effort should 
be made to throw them aside and attempt the 




OLIVER STURGES JONES 

drafting of an entirely new code, but the exist- 
ing rules certainly do need revision, re-ar- 
rangement and better expression." 

"While our executive committee is opposed 
to separate American legislation, we would be

failing in our duty if we did not call your 
attention to present conditions." 

There has been considerable correspondence 
between the two bodies since, and all the affil- 
iated clubs of the U. S. G. A. have been asked 
for a general expression of opinion as to the 
necessary changes. These have now been re- 
ceived by Secretary W. Fellowes Morgan, who 
will submit them to the executive committee at 
a meeting to be called this month, by which 
time also the advance draft of the amended 
rules, which the St. Andrews men have been 
quick to see the advisability of drawing up 
meantime, will have arrived. 

Clarity of expression will be one of the 
matters to be considered by the American 
Committee, the rules as they stand at present 
having been stigmatized by one of our former 
amateur champions as being "badly defined and 
written in abominably bad English." In the 
definition of a hazard for instance, according 
to one U. S. G. A. committeeman, the present 
rule errs for general application in stating a 
hazard is "any bunker, water (except casual 
water), sand, path, road, railway, whin, bush, 
rushes, rabbit scrape, fence or ditch." In his 



opinion except when on the fair green or the 
putting green the ball is in a hazard, barring 
only casual water, ground under repair, sand 
below or sprinkled on the course, bare patches 
or snow and ice, besides permanent grass in a 
hazard. 

While some minor changes may be made 
this winter by the St. Andrews Rules Com- 
mittee to meet any pressing needs, it is hardly 
likely that the general overhauling of the code 
will be undertaken until the meeting next May, 
when Mr. MacDonald will be on hand to safe- 
guard American interests. 

The procedure of the Golf Rules committee 
has been such as to secure representative legis- 
lators without having direct representation 
from the different clubs. The method which it 
employed was to elect individuals who attained 
sufficient prominence in the game to make 
their opinions on the rules of value to mem- 
bership in the Royal and Ancient Society, and 
then nominate them for this committee. The 
committee thus represented all elements in 
British golf, and included the most capable 
men it was possible to secure. The Society has 
simply employed the same method to give 
representation to America, and has chosen Mr. 
MacDonald because he happens to be qualified 
and at the same time already a member of the 
club. 

Mr. MacDonald takes this view of the ac- 
tion. He joined the club while a student of

St. Andrew's University, and learned to play 
the game there. 

This committee has hitherto been .imposed 
(if fifteen members. The prompt acquiescence 
of the "Royal and Ancient" and the recognition 
granted the U. S. G. A., should be a guarantee 
that one set of rules will continue to govern 
the golfing world, for which every one directly 
or indirectly interested in the game will be 
devoutly thankful. The enormous growth of 
the game in this country and the high skill 
attained by our leading amateur players has 
attracted greal attention in Europe. By plac- 
ing Mr. MacDonald on the Rules Committee, 
the Society has yielded on a point which has 
been denied many clubs and associations of 
large membership in Britain, a fact which 
will go far to eliminate any further discussion, 
for some time to come at all events, as to the 



Modern Use of the Tee 



Even the Use of 



a Pinch of S.md Was Prohibited in the Early 
Code of (he Rules 



TO players who have not delved deeply 
into golf-lore, it always comes as a sur- 
prise to learn that the early rules of the golf 
code prohibited an artificial tec. "Your tee 
shall be on the ground" was the order of the 
old St. Andrews players. When the pinch of 
sand was first used at the tee, no one seems 
to be able to say exactly though it could seem 
to be a relatively modern custom. What 
the old golfers would have said about the 
modern use of cartridge tecs, the umbrella 
rubber rings or the pieces of matting, used in 
wet weather, must be left to conjecture. 



But, after all, there was some utility in the 
provision prohibiting the u^c of a tee. It 
taught beginners as well as experienced golf- 
ers how to pick their ball up clean off the 
turf with a wooden club and in that way it 
must have helped improve a man's game 
through the green. Even today, there are 
many professional teachers who insist upon 
learners beginning to strike the ball without 
the aid of a tee, in order to accustom them to 
the more difficult use of the clubs through the 
green when the ball may neither be touched 
nor teed.

practicability of devising a distinct set of rules 
to govern American golf. 

In drawing a comparison between golf as 
played in the United States and in Great 
Britain, a well known English authority on 
the game has evidently become very much 
impressed with the earnestness displayed over 
here in developing the game to its highest 
point of exactness and our anxiety to avoid 
any loop-holes in the interpretation of the 
rules. He evidently voices the opinion of the 
Rules Committee, of which he was for many 
years a member, when he says, after admit- 
ting we are fully justified in our wishes to 
have the rules thoroughly revised : 

"The American player always seems to be 
thinking of a catchword in the chain of his 
previous study before he plays the next shot, 
to be always mentally on guard lest he has 
forgotten some trifling detail which shall 
throw the whole of his system out of gear. 
The British player on the other hand, is 
more devil-may-care, more intent upon the fun 
to be got out of the game at the moment, less 
careful of his style, more anxious to enjoy 
the passing benefits of the relaxation. On the 
one side elaborate care to apply principles 



carefully thought out beforehand, on the other 
side, a certain amount of careless, buoyant 
recklessness, which is joyfully expressed as 
long as the ball is fairly well hit. That seems 
to mark the distinction between American and 
British golf." 

This about sums up the situation as they 
regard it at St. Andrews today. We "elabo- 
rated" on the English Rugby football rules to 
an extent that the English and American 
codes at this game are almost totally distinct 
today and old-time golfers evidently fear some 
such "disaster" may occur to drive the Royal 
and Ancients to dread a similar fate for golf. 



Don't Cramp Your Greens 

In laying out the links at Oak Hill as well 
as at the Country Club at Brighton, much 
wisdom was shown by not attempting to force 
a quart into a pint measure, i. e., it was 
deemed more advisable to have a liberal nine 
hole course than to have eighteen greens 
which, owing to the comparatively small acre- 
age available, would necessitate a perpetual 
criss-cross game with much attendant danger 
to players. The Crescent A. C. links near 
Brooklyn were constructed on this latter plan 



many years ago chiefly with a view to getting 
some of the big tournaments by having a full 
course. But the area was always too limited 
and these links have just been reconstructed 
by George Strath into a nine hole course of 
3,176 yards with a bogey of 42. The old 
eighteen hole course was 4,562 yards. 

In spite of its cramped conditions, the old 
Crescent course was the scene of many 
matches and competitions that have helped 
to make golf history in America, and some 
fine players hit their first ball on it. There 
was a sensational open tournament at the 
Crescent links in May, 1899, in which Findlay 
Douglas won the qualifying round prize with 
74, but lost in the semi-final to Amos Dwight 
on the nineteenth hole, who beat H. S. Bowns 
in the final. The new nine hole course is 
as fine a test of golf as any one need desire. 
The order of the holes is of 265, 481, 470, 424, 
343, 346, 342. 252 and 253 yards. The double 
round gives eighteen holes of 6,352 yards.

WITH the games of last week rubbed

summary treatment on Culver Field. 

Coach Langslow has had to make but few 
shifts, fill few vacancies. It has been one of 
his aims to keep last season's great scoring ma- 
chine as near intact as possible. His team, as a

substantial gains, while Romig's familiar pres- 
ence is needed to infuse speed and spirit into

schools both have clean tally sheets as yet, and 
are eyeing one another with jealous glance 
and a grim determination centering on 
Thanksgiving Day. 

To draw any definite comparison between the 
two aggregations at the present stage of the 
game is unsatisfactory at best, as the re- 
spective coaches have found different condi- 
tions with which to contend and have steered 
their courses along different lines, which will 
only converge on Thanksgiving's frosty grid- 
iron. 

Not Upon Equal Terms 
West High adherents have been more or 
less prone to point to the two Canandaigua 
Academy scores on successive Saturdays, in 
which their favorites have forty-five points the 
advantage of the Orientals, as the compara- 
tive dope sheets have it. They should bear in 
mind, however, that the Canandaigua aggre- 
gation which East High met was vastly differ- 
ent to that which Langslow's husky men drove 
back and forth over Culver Field the week 
previous, having six new men in the line-up; 
that it was playing on its own field, backed by 
its own crowd; that the halves were limited to 
fifteen minutes, and, finally, that the village 



result, is already fairly well molded; already 
learning to unify its efforts. Coach Sullivan, 
on the other hand, has found himself obliged 
to build up a backfield, to plug holes at guard 
and center, to fill an end, and to discover 
where Captain Ward's weight and aggressive- 
ness can be used to the greatest advantage. 

Will Soon Be Developed 
It is thus only natural that the Orientals 
have not yet developed their team formations 
to the degree desired in a championship team. 
Were the two schools to meet tomorrow, West 
High would doubtless rule a hot favorite, but 
many of the difficulties on Alexander street 
are already straightening, and, with the ma- 
terial at hand there, backed by never failing 
spirit, it looks at this distance as though it 
would be a toss up between the two institu- 
tions, when they finally face each other for 
the big silk banner. 

Another element, which must be taken into 
account as affecting the result of East High's 
efforts at Canandaigua, is the fact that Coach 
Sullivan took advantage of a supposedly easy 
game to try several experiments, and the re- 
sult was some valuable lessons gained". For 
one thing, he learned that Silvernail, who had 



the men, as well as to supply the strategy. 

Some Difficulties Settled 
It has now been also demonstrated that Clark 
can be depended upon at fullback; that Kraft's 
weight and track ability stand him in good 
stead in the backfield, although he is still 
crude as a halfback; and that Captain Ward 
is a better tackle than end. This last fact will 
perhaps excite the most interest, as the dis- 
position of the plucky captain has afforded one 
of the chref puzzles for the coaches to decide. 
Tired at end, it was found that his build 
rendered him naturally a trifle slow at that 
position, where speed is a main essential. The 
same applied to the backfield, until it was 
finally contemplated shifting him back to his 
old place at center, where no one had been 
able to quite fill his shoes. Bacon upset those 
calculations temporarily, at least, by putting 
up an improved game at the fulcrum position, 
and Kraft's shift to the backfield on Saturday 
gave the coaches an opportunity to try Ward 
at the vacant tackle, where he played through- 
out the game. For his first game at that diffi- 
cult point, he showed encouraging form and 
proved one of the most consistent ground 
gainers.

EVERY FRIDAY 



Occidentals All to the Good 
West High met a worthy foe in Starkey 
Seminary and has fit occasion for congratula- 
tion in that it kept its goal line still unsmirched. 
The line showed more of a shake-up than it 
has since Yancey picked the final line-up for 
the eleven of 1906. Neither Zetsche, Lehnen 
nor Forsythe started the game, and the first 
named was the only one of the trio to be 
pressed into service at all. Lee was moved 
out to tackle, and Foster was placed at 
Lehnen's guard. This combination proved as 
effective as ever, and the shift did not affect 
the team play materially, as the veteran back- 
field was still intact. 

The three backs are doing most of the work 
visible from the grandstand, as far as getting 
into the enemy's territory is concerned. Ball 
is the same giant that he was last fall and a 
glutton for work, while Uderitz and Niven 
can always be depended upon to do their share. 
Dunherr did not get a chance at quarter on 



forward pass and open play, which they used 
in such spectacular fashion last Thanksgiving 
Day, and which their supporters wish to see 
them put in successful operation. The only 
forward pass pulled off successfully in Satur- 
day's game was engineered by the Starkey 
boys, shortly after West High had scored its 
first touchdown, and immediately subsequent 
events nearly tied up the score. That single 
pass had the West High rooters on the anxious 
scat for the time being, and demonstrated how 
suddenly such a play can alter the aspect of a 
game. 

West High may need the forward pass 
against Masten Park at Buffalo tomorrow. It 
certainly is likely to against such aggregations 
as Syracuse High and East High. The season 
is yet young, however, and Langslow's sup- 
porters have every confidence that he will have 
his men taking advantage of the new rules in 
every manner deemed feasible, before they 
actually feel the need of such training. 



Under such a combination of circumstances 
the wearers of the Yellow have no need to 
f el shame over the plucky stand they took 
against the heavier Niagara warriors. The 
most discouraging aspect developed by the 
game was the fact that, although the team ad- 
vanced the ball much more freely than its op- 
ponents, it had to lose through ineffective 
punting. 'Varsity surprised its supporters by 
the manner in which it tore through Niagara's 
line, but those same supporters were subjected 
to about the most agonizing experience in foot- 
ball, when on two different occasions the team 
advanced the leather within five yards of the 
coveted goal, only to fumble once and to be 
held for downs the second time. On its 
ground gaining form the Yellow sir. ...j have 
been returned a victor. 

It was this inability to put the finishing 
touches on a long march down the field, which 
characterized the work of the team last year, 
and it is hoped that it will be eradicated before

Saturday, Smeed starting the game and Cum- 
mings finishing. Smeed seems to have slightly 
the call for the position, which has occasioned 
the keenest competition of any on the eleven. He 
worked his followers hard and fast during the 
opening half against Starkey, in which period 
both touchdowns were scored. Cummings' 
showing should not be disparaged for that 
reason, however, as he had comparatively little 
opportunity to prove his metal. 

Are Playing Straight Football 
West High is still depending very much 
upon its brawn and power at straight football 
to sweep away all opposition. While one or two 
new formations were tried last Saturday, they 
had, for the most part, as an objective point 
an end or line gain. Skin tackle plays were 
very numerous, and, with such men as Ball 
and Uderitz to advance the leather, proved 
very effective. 
The Occidentals have yet to develop the 



Stroud in Hard Luck 

Coach Stroud has been having his troubles 
in the 'Varsity camp. After it was learned 
from Niagara's defeat of Colgate that the 
Catholic institution would be a very stiff 
proposition, requiring all of the team's 
strength, the injuries which Captain Jordan 
and Symonds sustained in the Syracuse game 
developed sufficiently to keep them out of the 
game. As they were among the most valued 
mainstays of the already light line, their loss 
afforded an almost irreparable handicap. 

Symonds is not exp«cted back in his position 
at guard much before the Hamilton game next 
week, and Captain Jordan's condition is un- 
certain at best. Keiber rejoined the squad just 
two days prior to the Niagara game, and, 
going into the struggle with but one afternoon's 
workout, was a host in himself. He will 
bolster up the line materially in the games in 
which he participates. 



many more games. The 'Varsity also needs to 
work on the new game, making most of its 
gains now on line or skin tackle plays. 

Not once last Saturday did it handle a for- 
ward pass cleanly. Of the new regulars Pray 
has shown splendid form in line smashing tac- 
tics; Wood is putting up a strong game at 
left guard, and Hunt is developing promising 
form at center. Jimmie Fowle, playing full- 
back for the first time against Niagara, put 
up a slashing game and looks good in his new 
position.

NeW Game Develops Daring Vlays 

Veteran Football Experts Marvel at the Innovations that are Coming into 
Vogue as a Result of the Change in Rules this Season 



GEORGE H. BROOKE 



ALL of the big teams have now started upon 
their football seasons in earnest. The 
game itself is more open than ever before, and 
the eyes of veteran players are becoming more 
astonished every day at the variety and daring 
of the novel tactics under the new rules. In 
fact it is the biggest and best opening our foot- 
ball has ever had. 

The possibilities of the new game are only 
limited by the audaciousness and skill of the 
players. In the early games of the season the 
coaches realize that they must practice that 
style of game which will be most effective in 
the final matches, therefore everything is being 
tried with this object in view. 

As Walter Camp Does 

Walter Camp of Yale, sometimes called the 
"old gray wolf" of the gridiron, teaches the 
Yale elevens the style of game that gradually 
wears down the opponent while it saves the 
energy of the Yale players. Last year, against 
Harvard, the Eli coaches sent Knox in to make 
a brilliant open field run very much in the 
same way that a clever base ball manager will 
send in a good hitter from the bench when a 
hit is needed. After Knox had made his run 
to within striking distance of the goal then he 
was taken out and a heavy line smasher was 
put in his place. 

The public ought to be taught the beauties of 
our game somehow. If the coaches would 
combine and start a crusade of education with 
this object in view we would have greater 
crowds at the games and the public would en- 
joy and appreciate our football more. 

I should like to take the reader into a 
coaches' meeting some evening out in the 
beautiful new training house at Franklin Field, 
the home of the Penn eleven. Scouts who 
have been sent out to watch Michigan or some 
other team play come to the council with their 
reports. Men who have been officiating at a 
Yale or Harvard game come back with a new 
wrinkle. The coaches listen to reports, discuss 
new tactics, talk over their own team and de- 
cide on policies. 

It really is the "war game" in more ways 
than one and if the average spectator could get 
into such a meeting his eyes would be opened 
wide. These war councils are going on at all 
the big colleges. 

Three Well Advanced 

Up to date Yale, the Indians, and Penn have 
made the greatest progress. Yale in her game 
with Syracuse had some fine practice and true 
to her coaching policy gradually wore down 
her big opponents. As the game advanced 
Syracuse got weaker and weaker while Yale 
got stronger and stronger and the Eli linemen 
began to sift through and tear up the plays of 




CAPTAIN MAGOFFIN 
Famous half-back of the University of Michigan 

the visitors. Coy did some effective kicking 
and his ends, Piggott and Burch, covered his 
punts in great style. 

I hear Burr at Harvard is sending out punts 
of sixty yards. He has to come back out of 
the line however to kick so that Yale will be 
prepared to block the Harvard ends and cut 
off a great many yards by rushing the punts 
back. Yale is working her forward passes bril- 
liantly. Her coaches place a great deal of de- 
pendence on the on-side kick and are using it 
with splendid effect. This play is more useful 
than ever, because, no matter if your side has 
been penalized 50 yards if you gain only 
one yard on a kick it gives you a first down 
and you still have the coveted possession of 
the ball. 

Harvard's Coaching Squad 

Coach Crane has certainly selected an able 
corps of assistant coaches. With Lieut. Daly 
for the quarterbacks, Leary for the ends, Cutts 
for the tackles, and Lewis fo'r the centre, he 
has plenty of brains for his football councils 
and plenty of skill for the coaching of the 
thousand and one details of development. 



A prominent Harvard man told me the other 
day that Harvard never gets the seasoned ma- 
terial that Yale does. There are fewer society 
men making the Harvard team this year than 
ever before. "Josh" Crane has the "scrap- 
ping" spirit and he will doubtless put a lot 
of fight into the Harvard team this fall. 
Reagen Another "Stevie" 
At Penn the coaches have developed a good 
defense and a fair kicking game. Their 
offense is not polished off yet, as far as for- 
ward passes go, but with a splendid set of 
backs their rushing game has so far swept all 
defense away. Reagen, the new quarterback 
promises to fill a hole on the Quaker eleven 
that has needed plugging ever since the 
brilliant "Stevie" left college. He looks like a 
star but we will have to wait until the real 
tests come. 

Penn plays Swarthmore tomorrow. The 
latter college beat Penn last year and the 
big Quakers are thirsting for revenge. As 
Swarthmore has been in the limelight lately 
because of the peculiar legacy from an old 
Quaker lady, a great crowd will be on hand 
to view this game. As most people already 
know, Miss Sarah Jeanes left the college a 
million dollars provided the college would cut 
out all athletic games with other institutions. 
The managers are considering the question and 
in the meantime the footballers are hustling 
harder than ever for they may possibly be "the 
last of the Romans." 

Tigers' Claws Are Out 
At Princeton, the coaches are working away 
at developing a good line and seem to be suc- 
ceeding. They have the bump of fighting 
spirit strongly developed at Princeton and any 
team that beats the tigers will have to take 
a lot of clawing. 

Keep your eye on the Indians and also the 
Navy. They both have great teams this year. 
The Navy has Yale coaching this year, as 
West Point has always had. 

Villa Nova College worked a neat forward 
pass on Penn the other day, so well, that it 
may be worth while describing the play. The 
fullback went back as if to punt and when the 
ball was snapped to him he waited until the 
opponents were nearly on him and then ran 
over to the right and threw the ball forward 
to his end who had started down the field but 
had stopped and turned in toward centre. 

The Penn end and half-back who were 
blocking this man evidently thought that the 
fullback was going to run with the ball so 
they rushed forward to tackle him thus leaving 
the end free to receive the pass. Practically 
the whole Villa Nova team was there to inter- 
fere for him and the play came near to scoring.

Luscious Grapes At Their *Best 

Interesting Facts Regarding The Growth, Packing and Shipment To All 

the World's Markets 



HARRY R. SANFORD 




The grape business in the Lake Keuka grape 
belt is the leading industry in that rich agri- 
cultural section of the state. The industry 
dates back to 1836, when J. W. Prentiss set 
out a vineyard on his farm as an experiment, 
but it was not until some five or ten years 
later that he commenced shipping on a scale 
worthy of mention. The variety was confined 
to the Isabellas. He shipped during the first 
years from two to three tons per season, and 
at times he experienced some trouble in find- 
ing a ready market. 

But little advancement was made in the 
Keuka region towards increasing the acreage 
until 1872, when the thinly settled rural dis- 
trict, realizing the profit that was being made 
by those in the business, commenced securing 
vines and setting them out. Since then each 
year the acreage has increased until now the 
entire lake region is included in the industry, 
and it is estimated that there are from 10,000 
to 15,000 acres of land exclusively devoted 
to growing grapes. The industry has so rapid- 
idly increased that it has extended beyond the 



lake shore, and the vineyards may be seen far 
up Pleasant Valley, beyond Hammondsport 
Land that was at first not considered of much 
value has been set out to grapes and now is 
estimated, in some instances, worth from $250 
to $300 per acre. 

The grapes have brought the grower a hand- 
some profit, netting at times from five cents 
per pound to a much better price, the rates 
varying according to the crop grown, and also 
according to the demand. The wine industry 
is rapidly using up all of the surplus grapes 
grown in the district 

Each year the grape business in the Keuka 



and other kinds of work during the sum- 
mer months. In the fall comes the harvesting, 
housing and shipping of the grapes which lasts 
until after the holiday season. Wages paid 
amount in to hundreds of thousands of dollars. 

As to the profits realized there have been 
several estimates. The statistics of eleven 
vineyards gives an average gross receipt of 
$70 per acre; deducting $15 as cost of opera- 
tion, this leaves a net profit to the owner of $55 
per acre. 

The value of the vineyard property in what 
can be strictly termed as the Lake Keuka grape 
belt, is estimated at $7,000,000. 




belt gives employment to a large number of 
men, women, and children. It is hard 
to estimate the number employed in 
one way or another, but the total will 
perhaps run up into the thousands. The work 
in a vineyard includes the pruning and pulling 
of the brush during the winter and early spring 
months; then the straw and willow tying; 
then the cultivating and spraying of the grapes 




READY TO BE LOADED INTO ICED CARS 



FARMERS DELIVERING GRAPES TO FRUIT HOUSE 

There seems no trouble in finding a ready 
market for the grapes. In every city and 
town of importance from the Atlantic to the 
Middle West, may be found grapes that have 
been grown in the Keuk belt, bearing the 
name of either the grower or the shipper. 
There are two points from the Keuka Lake 
region where these shipments are made: Penn 
Yan and Hammondsport The shipments are 
about equally divided between these two places. 
The work of handling the grapes from the 
time of shipping to the time they reach their 
destination means considerable in many ways. 
Special fruit trains daily leave these points 
during the season. 

Only once in 25 years has there been a freeze in 
the lake region doing great damage before Oc- 
tober 20th. This occurred a few years ago, the 
loss being but about two cents per basket be- 
low the average for the remainder of the 
season. 

With the growth of the grapes there has 
steadily been growing up another industry, 
that of the making of wine and champagnes, 
and this has assumed large proportions. The 
headquarters of the champagne industry are 
in the Keuka belt, and it is estimated that

nearly two-thirds of all of the American cham- 
pagne is produced there. A large number of 
these cellars are in the upper lake region. The 
amount of money invested in the wineries will 
run into several millions of dollars. Many 
of the brands have taken special premiums at 
expositions in Chicago and Paris. The mak- 
ing of champagne in this locality dates back 
to 1860. 
The grape crop for the present year has 



been estimated by William Wise, of Penn 
Yan, who is the largest individual shipper 
of grapes in the state, as being a full crop. 
This year's crop has been free from the 
troublesome grape rot which so often finds 
its way into the grapes in the Lake Keuka 
region. The reason for its non-appearance 
this year, Mr. Wise states, is due to the drouth 
which has prevailed for the greater portion 
of the season.

Stage News and Notes 

Drury Lane's annual melodrama seems to 
have "made good" again this year and it 
doubtless won't be very long before we shall 
see Cecil Raleigh's latest production, "The 
Sins of Society," on this side. "Animated and 
ingenious, abounding in thrills and not nearly 
so sinful as we expected," is a fair summary 
of what the apathetic London scribe says of 
it. Constance Collier is "superb and im- 
pressive" as the heroine. ' 

Laura Niles Hall will play the leading 
female part in Rachel Crothers's new play, 
"The Coming of Mrs. Patrick," which is to 
be presented in the Madison Square Theatre, 
about the middle of the month. 

Another October production will be that of

others will be seen. 

The Adelphi Theatre in Philadelphia under 
the management of the Messrs. Shubert was 



opened last week, "Joe" Weber and his com- 
pany in "Hip, Hip Hooray," were the attrac- 
tion. The new Adelphi is one of tin: hand- 
somest theatres in the country, but, is marked 
by its plainness, the color scheme being dark 

i and brown throughout. 

Otis Harlan has succeeded Charles Bigelow 
as leading comedian in Anna Field's "Parisian 
Model" company which has just opened its 
econd season. Miss Field's latest additions 
to her wardrobe are some of the most mar- 
"creations" that have ever been evolved 
by French modistes. 

Alfred Sutro's new play, to be produced in 
i few weeks at the London Comedy Theatre, 
is to be called "The Barrier." Rumor describes 
it as a strong piece with a showy part for 
Marie Tempest. 

Dcnman Thompson, now in his 70th year, is 
giving New York "The Old Homestead" once 
more after a long absence from the metropolis, 
during which time every good-sized village in 
the country, to say nothing of the towns, have 
had a chance to see his perennial drama. The 
piece seems to have lost none of its popularity 
and the Academy of Music has been crowded 
at every performance. 



Literature 

T NTO a cleverly compiled work of fiction 
* depicting many stirring incidents in every 
day life at "Kent College," George H. Brooke, 
the football critic of Every Friday, has woven 
much valuable instruction on the fine points of 
the game, which are further emphasized by 
several highly realistic illustrations as well as 
numerous diagrams which elucidate many of 
the complicated tactics employed by the lead- 
ing college teams today. 

Mr. Brooke's wonderful success as football 
coach to Swarthmore College is now partially 
explained, Jor his clearness of expression in 
"The Story of a Football Season" makes it 
very evident that the thickest-headed football 
player could hardly fail to execute the various 
manoeuvres of the game with Mr. Brooke as 
his instructor. 

Players, past and present, will eagerly read 
this story with great interest and the spectator 
who never entered the lists himself, will cer- 
tainly enjoy more thoroughly the next football 
game he attends. Mr. Brooke may not have 
"given away" all his methods for producing a 
winning team, but many a coach will find a 
hundred and one "tips" in this book on points 
<>n which he was not altogether clear or un- 
able to explain to his pupils before. It is just 
here where the science and knowledge of foot- 
ball are welded together into a marketable 
asset such as only a man of Mr. Brooke's ap- 
plication to and skill in such games can at- 
tain. 

The J. B. Lippincott Company of Phila- 
delphia are the publishers of "The Story of a 
Football Season," and it is on sale here at 
Scranton, Wetmore and Co.'s store.

J. ROOSEVELT SHANLEY 

FRANK BROWN 

THE biggest proposition that ever confronted 
a contractor in this section of New- 
York state, and maybe in a much bigger 
section, is that of building the Barge Canal 
from Brewerton to Mosquito Point, several 
miles west of Cross lake. 

This contract covers 43 miles and the con- 
tracting firm is going to get $3,500,000 for 
doing the job. 

The firm which has this contract is the 
biggest in the country, and is well equipped 
for the work. 

The removal of 7,000,000 cubic yards of 
earth is one of the things the contractors will 
have to do. Just how many steam dredges 
will have to be used hasn't been figured out 
yet, but they cost $150,000 a piece. Out in 
Oneida lake, where a channel will have to be 
dredged for many miles, a dredge will be built. 
It cannot be brought to the lake. It will have 
to be made there. 

'The big cut for the Barge Canal goes 
through meadow lands and villages, through 
valleys and hills, but the contractors have 
undertaken the task with as light a heart as 
though it was a mere matter of digging a 
sewer trench across the street. The cut 
through the meadow lands is to be 200 feet 
wide and from 32 to 38 feet deep. While 
much of the job means dredging lake and 
river bottoms, yet this is a small part of the 
work. At one point a bend in the river is

cut off, shortening the course by five miles. 
The distance from Brewerton to Three Rivers 
by river is 23 miles. The Barge Canal will 
cover it in eleven. A 1,000-foot pile dock is to 
be made at Brewerton. Three Rivers will 
practically be wiped out, and it is one of the 
Summer resorts of Central New York. 

The firm which has this mammoth contract 
will employ hundreds of men, and the work 
will consume many months. The firm is 
Stewart, Kerbaugh & Shanley of New York 
city. Three firms combined to make one. 
There is the Stewart company, with A. M. and 
J. C. Stewart; Kerbaugh & Brown, consisting 
of H. S. Kerbaugh and Frank Brown, and the 
Shanley Brothers, W. C. and J. Roosevelt 
Shanley. J. R. Shanley, Frank Brown, A. M. 
Stewart and J. C. Stewart are the members of 
the firm who have just inspected the big Barge 
Canal proposition. 



Who Got the Money? 

WHERE the $50,000 or more went which 
was stolen from the treasury of the 
city of Syracuse back in the nineties is still 
a matter of much speculation. 

Chief Clerk Willis G. McDowell, who had 
been in the office since 1893, after confessing 
to the part he played in the manipulation of 
the books was removed from office on Oct. 3. 

He walked out of the office that noon a 
dejected figure, and no man acquainted with 



the facts or no man who knew the man but 
felt the keenest pity for him. 

He had played his cards and lost. When the 
nemesis came on from New York to hunt out 
the thief or thieves, it was in the form of W. 
E. Allan, expert accountant for Price, Water- 
house & Co., and Allan is such a merry-faced, 
genial sort of fellow that it is hard to imagine 
him the ferret he is. 

But he went about his work with dogged 
determination. Willis McDowell was the man 
to help him. McDowell had been in the office 
for years and years, but he was away on a 
furlough. He wasn't in the best of health, but 
he recuperated in short order when informed 
that he was needed. 

McDowell wasn't suspected. No one ever 
thought, until very lately, that McDowell had 
a finger in the pie. He started in to help out 
the expert accountant, who had been called in 
to untangle the terribly tangled books. Pretty 
soon the expert was asking his assistant, Mc- 
Dowell, to explain certain things, and it finally 
got to the point where explanations were not 
available. 

Then the Mayor called McDowell in, and he 
made a whole breast of it. He had profited 
not a cent by the wrongdoing in the office 
but he had not another man to cover up a dead 
man's thieving. That was the gist of it. • 




willis g. Mcdowell 

Elbert F. Allen, honored by every man who 
knew him, had been in the treasurer's office 
for many years, first as deputy and later as 
treasurer. His brother, Frank Allen, was ap- 
pointed to office by him. Frank died in 1896, 
and then began the manipulation of the books 
to cover up deeds done in other years. 

Whether McDowell and E. F. Allen profited 
not at all by their acts remains to be seen. 
McDowell says that he did not. 

Did Willis McDowell and Bert Allen manip- 
ulate the books in the city treasurer's office 
for many years to hide the faults of another 
and to keep unsullied the name of a dead man ?

NOTES & FALL FASHIONS 



<r*^_ 




By Courtesy of Duffy- Mclnnefney Company 




Many of the fall features in fashions are of 
so pronounced and radical a character, as 
to be hardly such as will dominate during the 
season. Nevertheless, it is interesting to note 
what the noted designers of costumes, wraps 
and millinery have in mind, even though the 
buying public may not care to follow them to 
any extent. 

Paquin, always acknowledged as a leader, 
though radical and daring in his ideas, comes 




An exact reproduction of a model by a noted Parisian costu- 
mer. Made over taffeta silk — entire costume being of 
net and lace in the new golden russet color. Waist has 
touches of dainty trimming in velvet and braid. Shown 
by courtesy of Duffy-Mclnnerney Company. 

out this season with something distinctly new 
in skirts. 

This designer was really the originator of 
the decided Empire vogue, and he has been 
much copied and followed. The new skirt has 
so narrow and clinging a cut as to be quite 
suggestive, coming as it does upon the heels of 
wide, circular and pleated modes. The style 
of it necessitates the use of rather heavy 
fabrics, though they will be in soft clinging 
materials, adapted to draped effects. 

Another Paquin extreme is the use of two 
fabrics in both coat suits and costumes. These 
combinations include perhaps one material in 
two distinct colorings. For instance, a black 
broadcloth coat will be worn with a deep 
brilliant-hue broadcloth skirt. This is a dis- 
tinctly novel treatment and aims to become 
quite popular. 



Another extreme is a black velvet coat with 
a green broadcloth skirt; still another, a 
black striped velvet coat worn over a dull gray 
skirt. Thus the combination idea is worked 
in many different ways, and it is applied to 
costumes, as well as to coat suits. 

Scarf Veils in Draped Effect 

Another summer novelty which shows no 
intention of losing in favor, is the scarf. 
They are now worn in such a way as to be 
severely noticeable. They are draped over 
the hat, drawn down over the brim to the nape 
of the neck, enclosing in a sort of hood the 
elaborate coiffure of puffs and waves. This 
drapery is caught with a handsome ornamental 
pin in bar or crescent shape. Sometimes a 
jeweled barrette is used for this purpose, and 
it is passed through the hair and the veil 
pinned tightly down. 

Hats Are Growing Still Larger 

Many of the more recent hats that come 
from Paris are enormous in size, and fairly 
loaded with feathers — marabout, nageoire, 
goura and vulture of the most weird de- 
scription and expensive type. If flowers are 
employed, they are used in quantity and are 
very large in size. Thus everywhere, does the 
cost of real fashionable dress become a marked 
feature of the season. 

Fashionable Color Minglings 

Very frequently are purple and blue em- 
ployed together, both in the construction of 
hats and dresses. The purple is the full rich 
tint at present in vogue, and the blue of a 
rather dark mineral shade, having often a 
white reflex. Another fashionable color 
mingling is rosewood and pink, though blue, 
but of a higher shade, is also employed in con- 
junction with rosewood. 

The New Fall Petticoats 

The long, coat-shape white cloth wrap is 
clearly indicated to take the lead for winter 
among high class garments of a dressy order. 
It is the ivory or cream-white shade that pre- 
vails. The trimming is in most cases Irish 
point placed in bands, or broad and exceed- 
ingly handsome self-colored silk braid. Both 
are accompanied by pendant passamenterie 
motiffs, or, what is at present extremely 
fashionable — silk ball fringe, the balls as large 
as cherries, and carried out in crochet-stitch 
in silk cord. 

The New Fall Petticoats. 

Tailored silk petticoats are shown in a great 
variety of styles and colors. The flounces of 
these garments have stitched folds, ruffles and 
bias pieces. In the more fancy garments, they 
are also tucked, shirred and pleated. All 
colors are seen, such as brown, blue, green, 
red, black and white. 

Changeable silks too, are very fashionable. 



A very attractive model is of red and green, 
having a graduating flounce, accordeon plaited. 
The top and bottom of the flounce, are trimmed 
with a narrow ruching, which adds much to 
the garment; a full dust ruffle of plain silk, 
in matching tone with the red shown in the 
petticoat proper, is applied. 

Purples, heliotropes and lavenders are like- 
wise popular, but will hardly prove a perma- 
nent feature in style.

Another great stride in the general improve- 
ment of Rochester's transportation facilities 
was taken when the Rochester, Syracuse & 
Eastern road completed arrangements with the 
local trolley system to run its cars to the 
center of the city, thus affording easy access 
to the banking houses, the down-town railroad 
offices, some of the principal hotels and one 
of Rochester's largest department stores as 
well as many other business houses. Although 
undertaken as an experiment there is little 
doubt but that it will become permanent.

having the garments made to our liking ; in making sure that every distinct detail of our Fur Stock was exactly as it 
should be. 

From close observation of what is possible to obtain in Furs, we show what we believe to be the most complete 
and gorgeous collection of kinds ever presented in this vicinity. 

So elaborate and comprehensive is the stock, that it is possible to choose a garment at most any price that you 
care to pay, and yet so carefully has the selecting of each individual skin been looked after, that you are assured of the 
most trustworthy quality, little matter what you pay. 

Four examples of the way we price our Furs, serve to illustrate the savings that are yours throughout the entire stock.

Dr. J. L. Heffron, Dean of Syracuse 
University 

The College of Medicine of Syracuse Uni- 
versity has a new dean, and this is the third 
head within three years. 

Dr. John L. Heffron, who comes of a family 
of physicians and who is considered one of 
the most able men in his profession in Syra- 
cuse, is now in charge of this department of 
Chancellor Day's big university. 

Syracuse has students from every state in 
the union, from every county in the state and 
from several other countries. Japanese, Chi- 
nese, full blooded Africans, Hindus, etc., 
mingle with the sons of that great conglomer- 
ation which goes to make up the American 
citizen. 




DR. JOHN L. HEFFRON 
Who has recently been made a dean of Syracuse University 

Dr. H. D. Didama was for years and years 
the head of Syracuse Medical college, and he 
fell like a mighty oak which had weathered the 
storms of decades. Then Dr. Gaylord P. 
Clark was called to the chair, and his taking 
off was as the thief which comes in the night. 
Called home from Europe by the death of his 
father, Charles P. Clark, president for a 
quarter of a century of the Syracuse Savings 
bank, the son was stricken with heart trouble, 
and before even his most intimate friends 
knew of his illness he lay in a shroud. 

Now Dr. Heffron is called to succeed these 
learned men as dean, and he fills the position 
well. His father and his grandfather before him 
were physicians, and for many years he, him- 
self, has been a professor in the same college 
of which he is now the head. 



Natural Curiosity

EVERY FRIDAY 



The Millionaire Vampire 



i * mtinutd i> ■"" /' ' 



his card the words, / am from 21 Cen- 
ter street. Important! gave the card to the 
butler and asked him to take it to Mr. Gage. 

Following this servant, who returned almost 

immediately and reported that his m tei 

would see him, Doctor Winter mounted the 

broad stairway and was ushered into a large, 

ant room on the second floor. 

A man of about eighty sat in a chair by one 
of the windows with a buckram hound volume 
lying open on his lap, but as the doctor 
greeted him by name he put the book aside 
and arose, and the former could see that a 
wire ran from a battery on a near-by table to 
a metal plate attached at the base of the mil- 
lionaire's brain. A further glance discovered 
to the physician that the battery was fed by a 
heavy insulated wire that entered at one of 
the windows. 

The millionaire signalled the obedient butler 
to retire, then regarded his visitor with a look 
of questioning alarm. 

"I trust that nothing is seriously wrong that 
Mr. Von burg has sent a physician!" he ex- 
claimed. 

"No, Mr. Gage," Doctor Winter hastened 
to reply. "I beg you do not be alarmed. Mr. 
Vonburg" — 'So that's the man's name,' men- 
tally hyphenated the doctor — "has sent me to 
make an examination of your general physical 
condition, with a view of reducing the power." 

"Ah !" there was a look of intense relief in 
the other's face as he was reseated. 

From the moment that Doctor Winter had 
stood on the curb at the entrance to East 
Station and felt the vital power being drained 
from his body, he had seen through the phen- 
omenon sufficiently clearly and steadily as to 
have reached his present position without hav- 
ing made a single false step, but now that he 
was in the very presence of the millionaire 
vampire it would be well to make doubly sure 
before acting decisively. 

Yet there seemed little to discover that his 
acute reason and subtle intuition had not al- 
ready discovered, and a swift examination of 
the millionaire's person decided him to act at 
once. He was about to speak when the tele- 
phone bell rang, and the other left him to ans- 
wer the call. 

"Hallo!" 

"Hallo! this is Vonburg!" came the answer 
distinctly enough for the doctor to overhear. 
"Quick ! attach the storage line to your brain ! 
This building is on fire and I will have to 
disconnect the power. In case — " Here the 
message was snapped like a broken wire. 

Turning about with ashen face, the million- 
aire disconnected the wire attached to the plate 
at the base of his brain, and seizing a similar 
wire issuing from the opposite side of the bat- 
tery-like machine on the table attached that to 
the metal plate. 

"My God!" he cried, studying a scale on 
the battery, "there is scarcely enough power 
left in storage to keep me alive till morning!" 

Doctor Winter looked the wretched million- 



ain directlj in the eyes. "Mr. Gage, that 
great, wise, and merciful judge — Nature — 
condemned you to death a month ago, and it 
is well that you should die to-night! By this 
invention of Vonburg's you have been enabled 
for weeks to draw from unconscious thou 
of your fellow men the vital forces that keep 
you alive, but I shall allow it no longer' hi 
the name of manhood I protest against this 
outrage! You are but a vampire, sir, sucking 
the life forces from the thousands of workers 
that daily pour into East Station, and what do 
they receive in return ? Nothing !" 

The millionaire drew back from the angry 
physician as from a flame of fire. "You are a 
traitor!" he gasped. 

"No, I am not," replied the other, seeking to 
calm himself. "I am not in your employ, nor 
in the employ of your agents. I observed a 
metal strip set into the curb at the approach 
to East Station and found that a wire connect- 
ing one end of that strip runs through Von- 
burg's office to this room, where it ends at the 
base of your brain. There can be but one 
conclusion — You are being kept alive by drain- 
ing from every man, woman and child wdiose 
foot touches that plate a certain quantity of 
vital force, slight in each instance, yet in the 
aggregate sufficient to give you the strength 
of youth. No, you need not protest; it is too 
evident!" 

The millionaire clasped his hands. "You 
won't betray me?" 

"I must, and I will !" 

"Name your price of silence, and I will pay- 
it now." 

"No !" came the stern reply. "You have 
unlimited wealth ; use it and buy this vital force 
honorably from willing subjects." 

"Vonburg will not permit me. He fears the 
law." 

"That is why this business must end !" ex- 
claimed the doctor. "With your riches you 
could buy helpless children like sheep and 
drain them of their young lives, and not even 
a physician could tell how they died !" 

"Don't!" pleaded the millionaire, cringing 
into his chair. 

"My God. sir!" cried Doctor Winter, aghast. 
"I believe you have been guilty of such 
dastardly deeds! Ah, you vampire. I have 
your guilty record now ! That was the way 
you kept alive before you placed the steel strip 
at Fast Station !" 

The other arose and staggering to the bat- 
tery moved a small nickel lever, then tunic! 
about and with every show of feebleness and 
submission approached the physician. 

"You are right!" he whined. "I am an old, 
old man. and an old man's highest duty is to 
die! Give me your hand." 

Doctor Winter drew lack a step in disgust, 
when instantly the millionaire vampire leapt 
upon him. and with almost demoniac strength 
ami fury crushed him to the floor. "You 
traitor!" he shrieked, his white beard crack- 
ling with the volume of vital force that now

poured into his body from the storage bat- 
tery. 

Realizing his danger, Doctor Winter 
wrenched one arm free and tore away the 
wire that ran to the plate at the base of his 
assailant's brain. Instantly all strength left 
the millionaire, and shaking him off the phy- 
sician arose. 

"The lust of life has made you more fiend 
than man !" he exclaimed. 

The other crawled off and once again at- 
tached the wire to his person, then set the 
nickel lever at the lowest notch. 

"That cost me an hour of life, and I will 
die long before midnight unless Vonburg 
comes !" he whined. "He is the only living 
soul who understands the force." 

Doctor Winter stepped to the telephone, at 
the same time keeping a watch on the other, 
lest he should repeat the attack, and called up 
the baggage room at East Station. 

"Can you tell me if there is a fire at 21 
Center Street," he asked as soon as he had 
got connections. 

"Yes," came the answer. "The building has 
just collapsed from a gas-main explosion." 

"Anyone hurt or killed?" 

"A hackman reports a man was crushed to 
death under a beam. He had gone back to 
get something in the burning building." 

"Did he describe the man?" 

"Said he was a big, fine looking, black haired 
man." 

"That will do. Thank you." 

Doctor Winter hung up the receiver and 
crossed the room. "I will send the butler," 
he said, and went out, without looking back. 

He found the butler lolling in the reception 
hall. "Mr. Vonburg has been killed in a fire 
and the shock may kill Mr. Gage. Should it 
do so, I advise you to destroy that battery 
in his room, as it might get you into serious 
trouble. That is all." He left the craven 
servant backed against the wall and quit the 
mansion. 

When he reached 21 Center Street he found 
it a heap of ruins, while protruding from be- 
neath a heavy steel girder lay the machine that 
he had seen in Vonburg's office, now scarcely 
recognizable and wholly useless. Turning 
down to the morgue,' he found that the man 
who had been killed in the fire was Vonburg.

Czars of Neto York State 



<< nntimud from Poet I) 



fact the Speaker is "Rules," and his will is 
law in the hours <>i the Legislature's 

life. 

While much has been said and written 
about the undcsirability of placing so much 
power in the hands of one man, it is doubtful 
if there will be a change as members, wearied 
of turmoil and wrangle incident to sessions 
of the legislature, turn with positive relief the 
unraveling of the tangled skein over to 
"Rules" back of whom looms the commanding 
figure of the Speaker. In the hands of a 
strong man, the speakership is an immense 
position. Even in the hands of a weaker man, 
the place confers great power. No one ever 
thought that James W. Wadsworth, Jr., with 
but one term in the Assembly as training, 
would be able to dominate the body as did 
the masterful Nixon, with his dozen years of 
legislative training and seven years in the 
speaker's chair. Yet Wadsworth has been 
able to do what Nixon never did, held the 
Assembly in defiance of Governor and Senate 
throughout a regular and a special session 
because the powers higher up would not 
arrange a senatorial district in which his home 
county was not placed to his liking. This in- 
cident serves to demonstrate something of the 
power which attaches to the speakership of 
the New York State Assembly. 

Not many speakers of New York in recent 
years have attained high honors in politics. 
Probably in large measure this is due to the 



many enemies they are compelled to make in 
running through the business of a single ses- 
sion of the Legislature and the many persons 
to whom they must needs refuse favors. Wil- 
liam F. Sheehan was elected lieutenant-gov- 
ernor, there he stopped. Who thinks of Bush 
now? Sulzer is in Congress and has been 
mentioned for governor but that is all. Malby 
is "in Congress," he has not been heard from. 
Hamilton Fish was a candidate for governor 
in the state convention of 1896 but his follow-* 
ing was meager. He is now an assistant 
treasurer of the United States in New York. 
James M. E. O'Grady, concededly the cleverest 
speaker since James W. Husted, served one 
term in Congress, but got out of touch with 
the political powers that be in Monroe county 
and was retired to private life. S. Fred Nixon, 
who held the speakership longer than any one 
in the history of New York politics, aspired 
to the lieutenant-governorship and the gov- 
ernorship but failed in both ambitions. Mr. 
Wadsworth is a young man of rare natural 
ability, a Yale graduate and a scion of a 
family of politicians. Will he be an exception 
to the rule? 

Time alone will tell. Certainly, with Hughes 
as the popular idol and "the new idea in 
politics" uppermost in the public mind, the 
outlook does not seem favorable at the present 
moment. But popular sentiment is fickle and 
the American public is like the Indian, "heap 
uncertain." 



ONE OF THESE DAYS 

J. S. BRIGGS 

One of these days, when the world has grown better, 

Hearts will be happier, troubles grow light, 
When creed-burdened man shall have broken each fetter, 

And girded himself in the cause of the right ; 
When old Plato's regiment stops gaining members, 

As bigotry starts some new orthodox haze, — 
Truth's blaze will flash forth from its now flickering embers, 

And facts displace theories one of these days. 

When the folly of fighting our friends we uncover ; 

When each non-essential's kicked out of our creeds ; 
When Christians all over the world shall discover 

" The religion of God " will be all that one needs ; 
When the ceasing of wars does away with the fighter ; 

When " do unto others " guides all of our ways, — 
Then the gentler man will be reckoned the mightier, 

And dogma won't count for much, one of these days. 

One of these days, and it is not much farther, 

Millenium's church will triumphantly stand 
On the one fundamental, that God is our Father, 

And man is our brother, and then, hand to hand, 
I see Christian and heathen, both wiser and better. 

Having both broken through superstition's thick maze, 
And our hearts will be lighter, God's sunshine be brighter, 

The world more worth living in, one of these days.

Rochester Men at Harvard 



Howard Osgood, C. H. and H. B. Palmer, Levis Prizer, Joseph 
Husband, Harry Michaels, S. F. Pattison and Others 



J. H. HANFORD 



THE opening of the college year of 1907-8 at 
Harvard sees the usual quota of Rochester 
men enrolled among the students. With the 
possible exceptions of Cornell and Syracuse, 
universities at our very gates, Harvard is the 
.most popular institution in the country among 
the professional students from Rochester. The 
undergraduate body contains few representa- 
tives from this city. The University of Roch- 
ester, Syracuse and Cornell, and the small 
colleges of the East contain most of the col- 
legians from Rochester. 

The only entering freshman from Rochester 
this year is Howard Osgood, who graduated 
from Bradstreet's School in 1906, but spent 
last year there in preparation for Harvard. 
In the class of 1910 are Charles H. Palmer, 
Jr., and Henry B. Palmer, also graduates of 
Bradstreet's. The only junior is John W. 
Warner, Bradstreet's 1905. The only seniors 
who entered Harvard in their freshman year 
are Levis Prizer and Joseph Husband, Brad- 
street's 1904. 

Mr. Husband has taken an active part in 
college journalism, as a member of the staffs 
of the Harvard Lampoon and of the Crimson. 
Theodore A. Miller, a graduate of the Univer- 
sity of Rochester, 1907, has entered senior 
this year and intends to remain four years 
doing post graduate work in the classics. 

Entering the graduate school of Arts and 
Sciences are Harry Michaels, U. of R., 1907, 



who will do a year's work in history and eco- 
nomics, preparatory to entering into journal- 
ism, and Sidney F. Pattison, son of the late 
Rev. T. Harwood Pattison. Mr. Pattison has 
been teaching in the University of Colorado 
since his graduation from the University of 
Rochester in 1898. He intends to take a mas- 
ter's degree in English this year. Entering 
first Law is Clarence M. Piatt, U. of R, 1907, 
Karl Kaelber, U. of R., 1907, and John Prizer, 
Harvard, 1907; first Medical, Alvah S. Miller, 
U. of R, 1907. 

In their second year of graduate work are 
J. Holly Hanford, U. of R., 1904, who is study- 
ing English , and Charles W. Watkeys, U. of 
R., 1901, who is specializing in mathematics. 
Mr. Watkeys was instructor in mathematics in 
the University of Rochester in 1906. He has 
been appointed instructor in mathematics at 
Harvard for the present year. 

Raymond D. 'Havens, formerly of Rochester, 
U. of R., 1902, has just returned from a four 
months' trip in Europe to enter on his fourth 
year of graduate work in English. He expects 
to come up for the degree of doctor of philos- 
ophy this year. John W. Johnson, Harvard, 
190S, has returned for his third year's work in 
the law school. After completing his course he 
intends going into business in Rochester. 
Rochester H. Rogers, Williams, 1902, A. M„ 
1904, has also returned for his final year in 
the law school. 



To Remove a Prejudice 

To what is the popular prejudice against 
motoring to be attributed, and how best may 
the anti-motoring classes be brought to regard 
the car, not as an unnecessary evil, but as an 
indispensable adjunct to national prosperity 
and progress ? These are the questions which 
the motorists in general would like to have 
answered. One reason for the ill-feeling ex- 
isting among certain classes is the suddenness 
by which motoring reached its present posi- 
tion. Many men dislike to have anything 
sprung upon them. They are naturally sus- 
picious and see in this, as every other novelty, 
an attempt to interfere with their rights. It 
is only a few years ago that motors were en- 
tirely unknown, yet to-day there is scarcely a 
road that does not echo with the toot of the 
automobile horn. People have been forced to 
accept this state of things almost against their 
will, instead of being gradually educated up to 
it. 

Again, the early users of the motor are to 
blame for much of the prejudice existing, as 
the majority of them viewed their car as little 
else than a speed machine, and by carelessness 
and recklessness helped postpone the day, 
which will surely come, when the motor will 
be in more general use on our roads than the 



horse-drawn vehicle. At the present time 
most persons who buy cars do so on the 
grounds of utility alone, regarding the car as 
a superior sort of carriage, and the time will 
soon come when for every purpose of traction 
and locomotion, the motor will replace, to a 
large extent, all other means of transporta- 
tion. Whenever highways are so improved 
that the tremendous strain now imposed upon 
all motor vehicles is diminished, it will be pos- 
sible to construct reliable cars at much less 
than the cost of those of to-day. 

One of the principal reasons why cars are 
so expensive is that they must be built to stand 
the strain of traveling over the worst roads 
they are likely to meet. In ten years time or 
less it is hoped that the worst roads will be as 
good as the best to-day; then it will be pos- 
sible to build lighter cars and fit smaller tires, 
which in addition to being cheaper will last 
twice as long as they do at present. 






The day has passed when a merchant can 
safely let well enough alone — investigate the 
cause of many failures of "established" con- 
cerns and you will find that aggressive, enter- 
prising advertisers got the business away from- 
the firm "too well known to advertise."

HoW Fobes Gripped With the Corporations 

A Mayor Made by a Boss who has Baited the Boss and Won — A Chapter in the 

Municipal Regeneration of Syracuse 



ALAN C. FOBES, Mayor of Syracuse, is 
not afraid. 

There are rings and rings, and rings inside 
of rings, but Alan Fobes walks all around the 
rings and through the rings, like the magi- 
cians of old, and winks his eye and snaps his 
fingers at rebuke. 

He has made the lighting company back 
water, pump water out of the stock tank and 
come to time, and the men high in the repub- 
lican party are the principal stockholders of 
the same lighting company. 

Alan Fobes isn't afraid to buck the boss 
or court public opinion. He's Mayor, and he's 
Mayor because he's Mayor. Even Francis 
Hendricks, boss of the republican paity for 
25 years, has no more to say about what's 
what in Syracuse than the meanest citizen. 

And Francis Hendricks is pretty close to 
the people of the Syracuse lighting company. 

Alan Fobes bucked the tiger and he won, 
and there's a story in it. The name of Francis 
Hendricks does not appear in the list of direc- 
tors of the Syracuse lighting company, but he 
is an ally of the men who are. How much 
stock Francis Hendricks holds in the Syra- 
cuse lighting company doesn't appear. Maybe 
he doesn't hold a cent's worth, but his lieu- 
tenants do, and Alan Fobes, Mayor of Syra- 
cuse, has bucked the bunch. 

Among the directors of the Syracuse light- 
ing company are Itendrick S. Holden, Albert 
K. Hiscock, Louis L. Waters and John J. 
Cummins. 

The morning paper of Syracuse is con- 
trolled by a similar organization. Francis 
Hendricks is president; Hendrick S. Holden, 
treasurer and Albert K. Hiscock, secretary. 
This organ speaks for the boss. 

These are only instances. There are numer- 
ous other big Syracuse corporations which 
are controlled by the same men. 

When Alan Fobes started to buck this 
aggregation he put the Syracuse lighting com- 
pany down and out. 

No man can say that Alan Fobes is con- 
trolled by "the boss." He fought the Syra-

cuse lighting company, tooth and nail, and he 
won. A man who goes against the "powers 
that he" and wins is a "dandy," in the common 
parlance of the day. Alan Fobes did it. 

In his message to the common council on 
Jan. 2., 1906, Mayor Fobes called attention to 
the lighting situation in Syracuse, and that 
statement was the forerunner of the greatest 
upheaval which has ever occurred in New 
York state. It invoked the authority of the 
State to act, and it acted. The lighting Com- 
mission of the State had never before been 
called upon to arbitrate the subject of elec- 
tricity, but Syracuse's Mayor asked that com- 
mission to act, and it did. And through it 
Mayor Fobes saved Syracuse $120,000. One 
hundred and twenty thousand dollars isn't a 
small matter for most people. 



Syracuse's lighting contract was about to 
expire. There was only one bidder in the 
field. The Syracuse lighting company offered 
to take a one-year contract for $98.55 a light. 
For a five year contract it was willing to make 
a contract for $82.12y 2 a light. That was the 
price offered when bids were advertised for. 
The Mayor would not stand for it, even if 
the generals of the republican forces were 
hick of it, and bids were re-advertised. Then 
the company bid $79.38% on a five year con- 
tract, but this wasn't low enough yet. It was 
only a subterfuge. Then the Mayor appealed 
to the State Commission of Gas and Electric- 
ity. It was said at the time that this was only 
an election move, and that Fobes would not 
curry the lighting question up to the Court 
of Last Resort. 

lie did. The hearing was on for weeks and 
weeks, and the Mayor won. The commission 
fixed the maximum price for street lights at 
S()8 per year, and the price of electricity for 
private consumption was reduced from ten 
cents per kilowat to eight cents per kilowat, 
and that is the price now being paid. 

That's why Mayor Fobes is Mayor, and 
that's why Francis Hendricks is wondering 
if the control of the administration is safe. 
The U. G. I. is now in control of the Syra- 
cuse lighting company, but that fact does not 
deter the Mayor. Francis Hendricks is a 
power, but he is not powerful enough to 
dissuade Alan Fobes. Things are doing in 
Syracuse, and there is still more for Fobes 
ti> do. \ 

John J. Cummins is president of the Syra- 
cuse lighting company and would like to be 
Mayor of Syracuse. Francis Hendricks 
would like to have him there. John J. Cum- 
mins represents the head of the corporate 
interests of Syracuse. There are rings and 
rings and rings inside of rings, and all these 
rings revolve about the same head. But 
Francis Hendricks or no other man can undo 
what Alan Fobes has done. He is a power 
unto himself.

ROCHESTER. N. Y., OCTOBER 18, 1907 



The Weasel is With Us 

'-pHE Century Dictionary thus defines the term Weasel as applied 
*■ to a biped — "a lean, mean, sneaking, greedy fellow." He is 
in our midst again. He is almost always with us, particularly 
when the campaign season opens and the Bosses need to rehabilitate 
their secret-service systems. Sometimes he goes to New York, some- 
times he takes a vacation in parts unknown but he always has an 
eye-single to his contemptible avocation— that of delving in political 
and financial dirt, of tale-bearing, of malicious injury to those who 
incur his spite, of treacherously eliminating from the slimy pathway 
of his purpose the honest man or the stalwart soul. His shining 
mark, although he himself works darkly, is the man or the interest 
that dares protest against robbery of the people or corruption in 
public life. His soul, mean and small as the body that holds it, 
thrives on revenge, on hypocrisy, on trickery and deceit. He blights 
men with his spleen — he unscrupulously seeks his tools in places high 
and low, and to our city's shame, he gets them. His keenest 
delight is to grip the man in his toils— to flatter, to in- 
gratiate, to finally bluster and threaten the hapless victims of his 
cunning. And in it all his greedy talons reach out for the feathers 
that furnish his nest— that gratify his o'erweening vanity and in 
which he disgustingly preens himself. Do you know him? 



Genesee Power Possibilities 

"Kit ANY very important interests are engaged in earnest endeavor 
to convince the state, through the Water Supply Com- 
mission, that its duty lies in the development of the water-power 
of the Genesee river for the public benefit. Few residents of the 
Genesee valley realize the enormous possibilities of the proposi- 
tion. For years engineers have estimated, prospected and reported. 
Lord Kelvin, during his visit to Rochester several years ago pointed 
out a possible plan of development, commented on the marvelous 
opportunity that lay at our doors — but — nothing was done. 

Private exploitation of this great utility must not be tolerated. 
There is abundant evidence that private enterprise is ready, nay, 
eager, to invest millions in the project and declares without hesita- 
tion that it sees a seven per cent, profit in the investment. Mawkish 
sentimentality defeated the efforts of a private corporation in the 



legislature to secure a franchise for undertaking the work this year. 
The argument of the sentimentalists was that the construction of 
necessary dams and power houses would destroy the beauty of 
Letchworth Park just deeded to the state for park purposes. The 
fact was and is that all of the dams and power-houses will be 
located either above or below the Letchworth property — that in- 
stead of destroying the scenic splendors of Portage Falls, located 
within the boundaries of the property, the conservation of water 
supply and its subsequent release after energization would enhance 
their beauty. Then came another class of sentimentalists who 
mournfully pointed out that a reservior, such as was contemplated 
meant the wiping out of "fair villages" and "sacred towns of the 
dead." In this progressive day, this argument is of small conse- 
quence. The interests of the few must give way to the needs and 
welfare of the many. What is the wiping-out of a few farms and 
a few small towns, especially when they are well paid for, compared 
to the generation of 60,000 horse-power for the use of the industries 
of a valley populated by 600,000 busy people? New York city, 
proposes the demolition of 37 villages to get adequate water-supply 
for its 4,000,000 souls and there is no protest. 

So there is small basis for argument against the realization of 
the project. What, then, is the real secret of opposition? Seek 
the reason from the transportation and power corporation of the 
valley ! If the state undertakes at the suggestion and solicitation 
of the authorities, the development of the Genesee river power, 
the most available opportunity, considering expense, from Alaska 
to Florida, 60,000 horse-power can be developed and sold at COST. 
It can be sold to the Rochester Railway and Light Company and 
to all the trolley-lines that traverse the western portion of the state 
at COST ! And then the Public Utilities Commission can step in 
and insist on lower fares, decreased freight rates, power and electric 
light service. Do the corporations want the state to develop this 
power in the interests of the people? There is where the real 
opposition to the project lies and it must be over-ridden. Already 
several prospective legislators of the valley are campaigning on this 
issue. All who really have public welfare as their aim should do so. 



A PROFESSOR of Semitic languages in John Hopkins Universi- 
ty tells us that Solomon never wrote the "Songs of Solomon" 
and that they are merely a collection of love-songs. Inasmuch as 
Solomon is generally credited with an exceedingly amorous disposi- 
tion and deemed the hero of a hundred courtships, he probably needed 
the poetic ammunition whether he made it or not. 



The Guilty Corporations 

THE smug Lemuel Ely Quigg makes small bones of admitting that 
the Metropolitan "yellow dog" fund paid him $15,000 for 
"influencing" legislation at Albany. But this is immaterial as com- 
pared with the revelations before the New York Public Utilities 
Commission which shows that the Metropolitan has not hesitated 
to commit the felony of destroying many of its books, checks and 
vouchers. Many corporations in Western New York are guilty 
of the same crime, some, we grant, through ignorance of the law, 
but more because there is something to conceal. In view of the 
miserable financial fiasco in telephone high-finance whose effects 
locally are distressing it is more than probable that some bankers 
are trembling in their shoes. We shudder and exclaim over "yel- 
low-dog" funds and corporation crimes in the Metropolis — we are 
strangely callous to abuses under our noses. 



EVERY FRIDAY 



The Bane on the Thoroughbred 

I N this country, horse racing and betting may almost be regarded 
as synonymous. At all events, they are inseparable; for it is 
argued that the one cannot he conducted profitably without the 
existence of the other and in those states where racing is not 
illegal, the anti-betting laws are so framed as to leave a loophole 
whereby the bookmaker is permitted to do business at certain 
places under the cloak of a "favored clause." It is according to 
such terms that the Jockey Club, the self-constituted authority of 
the "sport of kings" in the East, dispenses its gracious permission 
to various associations to hold meetings from time to time, when 
those who are willing to pay a big admission fee to the grounds 
may make their wagers in the protected betting-rings unmolested. 

It may be safely said that 

not five per cent, of those who 

journey out to a race-track go 
with the sole idea of witness- 
ing a horse-race for the pure 
love of sport alone and this, 
unfortunately, includes women 
as well as men. Bet they 
must, on such occasions when 
the hand of the law is lifted 
for the time being; for the 
spirit of gambling is inherent 
in human nature, and the man 
possessed of the strongest of 
wills who suddenly finds him- 
self in the maelstrom of specu- 
lation, invariably succumbs to 
"try his luck" with Dame For- 
tune and so obtain an addi- 
tional thrill to the race itself, 
much as a cocktail is taken 
as a fillip to a good dinner. 
It is from such beginnings that 
the race-track adds one more 
to the ranks of those who 
neither "toil nor spin," but 
prey upon each other, the 
weakest dropping by the way- 
side in their thousands, as 
compared with the tens who 
fatten on the spoils. 

It is the ever-present game- 
ster, with all the vicious ele- 
ments that are invariably 
allied to his environment, that 

precludes the presence at the race-track of all self-respecting citi- 
zens, even as an occasional recreation. And the more is the pity of 
it, for there is no more glorious animal than the thoroughbred horse 
with its almost human intelligence and beauty in its every action as it 
strives to out-pace its rival in the fleet contest But it has amounted 
to this, that practically every owner of race-horses and all allied 
to the business of racing cannot or will not find sufficient com- 
pensation in it without recourse to betting. In this lies the bane 
of the race-track. 

More than pleasing, therefore, is it to note the great success 
this year of James R. Keene, the veteran financier, who devotes all 



ONCE IN A WHILE 



AUTHOR UNKNOWN 



|T is easy enough to be pleasant 

* When life flows by like a song, 

But the man worth while is the one who will smile 

When everything goes wrong. 
For the test of the heart is trouble, 

And it always comes with the years, 
And the smile that is worth the praises of earth 

Is the smile that shines through tears. 

It is easy enough to be prudent 

When nothing tempts you to stray, 
When without or within no voice of sin 

Is luring your soul away. 
But it's only a negative virtue 

Until it is tried by fire, 
And the life that is worth the honor of earth 

Is the one that resists desire. 

By the cynic, the sad, the fallen, 

Who had no strength for the strife. 
The world's highway is cumbered today— 

They make up the item of life. 
But the virtue that conquers passion, 

And the sorrow that hides in a smile- 
It is these that are worth the homage of earth, 

For we find them but once in a while. 



his time now-a-days to the development of the thoroughbred and 
enters his horses against all comers without ever placing a bet on 
their chances in the race. With such horses as Colin, Superman, 
Peter Pan, Ballot and Celt, aided by others of less note, Mr. Keene's 
winnings in stakes and purses this year already approximate $350,- 
000. His victory in the Futurity was a double one, a victory 
which held meeds of wholesome gratification for James R. Keene, for 
both Domino and Commando the sire and grandsire of Colin were 
owned and raced by Colin's master. That this success means much 
to the man who has the true interest of the thoroughbred at heart 
is apparent. Mr. Keene maintains in Kentucky one of the most 
expensive breeding establishments in the country and while he always 
willingly "pays the piper" when an adverse balance is shown in his 

stable expenses, his triumphs 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ this year should go far to atone 

for previous losses if not by t he- 
money, at least by the grand 
succession of triumphs. True 
sportsmen cannot help but 
joining in their congratulations 
with a fervent wish that all 
race-horse owners would en- 
ter the lists in the same spirit 
and with the same end in view 
as does Mr. James R. Keene. 



QHADES of Davy Crockett ! 
*** If the famous bear-hunter 
of the early forties had been 
equipped with modern arms, to 
say nothing of floored and 
walled " tents, " " stables, " 
easy chairs, up-to-date cooking 
stoves, bedsteads, a typewriter, 
a stenographer and even two 
mails a day, the genus Ursus 
would have been extinct long 
since in the United States, and 
The Nimrod of the White 
House would be compelled to 
confine his stalks after big 
game to baiting the Trusts. 
Crockett had presidential aspira- 
tions ungratified. Roosevelt 
is President. But Crockett shot 
more bears in the Texas and 
Louisiana canebrakes than the 
President ever will, despite his 



superior equipments. Crockett had the best of it.

[ARYJANE HOLMES, in the minds of some "higher critics, " 
did not measure up to their exalted ideas of literary style in

critics pass away. A woman who brought entertainment and uplift 
to thousands of firesides throughout more than a half century of her 
busy life, has little to fear from such criticism. After all. it is results

EVERY FRIDAY 



Entertainment For Jill! 



Men, Women, Boys and Girls — Read the Instructions Below 
Carefully and Exercise Your Ingenuity 



WE want you to write for Every Friday. 
There is much talent among our read- 
ers that has not been developed. You may 
never have attempted anything in the line 
of verses; but we shall make it so easy that 
you will be anxious to try. Will pay you for 
successful effort. 

Not a guessing contest. 

Not an estimating contest. 

Just an exercise of your literary ability. 
Nothing dependent upon lot or chance. A 
pleasing form of entertainment. 
Here Is The Plan 

The publishers of Every Friday will pay 
$10 to the person who fills in the fifth 
line of the verse printed in the coupon below 
which will correspond nearest to the fifth line 
which the editor has in his possession. 

First Write along the dotted line of the 

coupon your conception of what the fifth line 
of the verse should be and fill in the space 
assigned for your address. 

Second — Cut out the coupon around the 
black lines and enclose ten cents in stamps or 
coin as your entrance fee, to cover the ex- 
pense of handling answers. 

Third — Address the envelope containing 
your coupon and entrance fee, to Publishers, 
"Every Friday," 323 Sibley Bldg., Rochester, 
N. Y., and write plainly at the lower left hand 
corner of the envelope the word Limerick. 
Enclose nothing but the coupon and entrance 
fee in this envelope. 

Fourth — The same person may send in any 
number of coupons with changes in the fifth 
line; but an entrance fee must be inclosed to 
correspond to each coupon. 

Fifth — Coupons must be in hand in our 
office by Monday noon of each week in order 
to secure insertion in the issue of Every Fri- 
day of the following week, when favorably 
passed upon by the editor. 

A Pleasing Pastime 

Here is opportunity to write for the press 
and to receive remuneration for your time and 
effort. As interest in the work increases we 
shall offer greater inducements to enter the 
field. 

Limerick last lining should be a popular 
pastime throughout Western New York, as 
the result of this suggestion by Every Friday. 
Last lines can easily be supplied, and a little 
study of appropriate endings for the verses 
will develop originality that will be especially 
interesting, not only to those who are di- 
rectly engaged in it, but also to our readers 
generally. 

It is a form of entertainment which all may 
enjoy. Any person may fill out the coupon 
and send it according to the instructions. 
Yours may be the very one selected for pub- 
lication in our next issue. And if it should 
not, an opportunity will be provided for the 
following week. 



As examples of the ease with which the 
Limerick may be completed, we append a few 
examples : 

There was a young fellow of Lee 
Who thought it an excellent spree 
To sit on a post 
Dressed up as a ghost 

Suggested for the last liner for above: 

"No re-'spectre' of persons was he." 
Also: 

"The key to his conduct — whiskey." 
Also: 

"I'm like Eve, a side issue, said he." 



Some maidens at Ryde on a trip 
Went off to the shore for a dip. 
They thought they had got 
To a nice lonely spot 

Suggested for the last liner for above : 

"When Ahem !' from a 'him' made them 

skip." 
Also: 

"My wife wrenched the glass from my grip." 
Also: 
"Submarine signal rang : 'Sink the Ship !' " 



Your success in Limerick last lining may 
lead you to attempt some more extended writ- 
ing for our columns. We shall be pleased to 
have you consider it.

To Myself at Ten Months 

Can it truly be 

That you were me, — 
You round little, white little, shiny-eyed elf? 

Is it really true 

That I was you, — 
You plump little cherub, and still was myself? 

Yes, it must be so! 
But do you know 
How queer, and how near to the senseless it 
seems 
For a man full-grown 
To have to own 
That once he was subject to spankings and 
screams ? 

Who would ever guess 

/ wore a dress? 
I, who am wearing such dignified suits? 

Who would dare say 

That once I'd play 
And revel in glee, with two tiny red boots ? 




Now you just look here, 

A man to fear 
Am I ! I'm known as a Thinker, they claim, 

And it won't go well 

For you to tell 
That once I was "Baby" in size and in name ! 

But! Within those eyes 

There's something wise, 
And the longer I look, the surer I grow 

That behind that brow 

■ — So furrowed now ! — 
Was knowledge more pure than I've since 
come to know. 

Can it truly be 

That you were me? 
Yes, round little, white little, pucker-mouth 
elf! 

And I'm proud sir, too, 

That I was you, — 
You dear little fellow, — and still was myself!

a great question is being settled: shall we be 
assimilated, or shall we assimilate? Will the 
future show that we have maintained the 
standard of our civilization, or that we have 
slowly and surely fallen below the mark sit 
for us by the founders of our republic. In 
Rochester, for instance, from Jefferson avenue 
to Clifford street and back and across to Pier- 
pont and Alexander streets, — wherever one of 
the evening schools is situated, the problem is 
being solved. For to all the many foreigners 
and time-pressed Americans, the evening class 
is the only avenue to advancement and en- 
lightened citizenship. 

"My brother's smarter then yours," said a 
little girl, triumphantly, to a school-mate. "He 
works all day and earns money to give to my 
mother, and then he goes to school in the 
evening." 

'I his "brother" is one of the thousands in 
any city who must toil by day; whose only 
hope of enlightenment and betterment is 
through the evening school. Think of it!

One hour and three-quarters of instruction in 
which to allow the time-pressed and the for- 
eigner to become acquainted with our stand- 
ards. Five and one-quarter hours per week 
set against sixty hours of toil and their en- 
vironments outside the factory and the shop, 
and yet this fraction of time spent with the 
true teacher who deals with minds and with 
hearts, is like "a little leaven that leaveneth 
the whole." 

Not of small account is the patient work of 
the teacher who has to build up a vocabulary

portant functions: a— it provides a school for 
those children who cannot lie brought into the day 
school; b—it affords an education for the ambi-

are employed during the day: c — it provides a

That the evening schools are being considered as a 
factor in our local educational system ?rc have as 
evidence the establishment in the last five or six 
years of seven schools, one of them an evening high

to regard the evening school as vei v inefficient, bii( 
such an opinion would never be entertained by one 
at all acquainted with the system. They are as 
much a legitimate part of our system as the day 
school. It may be said of the evening high-school 
that it occupies a most important place in the com- 
munity. It has been said that the day high-school 
is the 'poor man's college' : then the evening high- 
school is the poorer man's college. The young man 
or young woman who will deny himself or herself 
of Ihe amusements common to youth and attend an 
evening class three evenings a week is possessed J 
a determination which knows no failure. Such 
are the kind of people found in our evening 
schools. To such are we proud to minister and lo 
such must we look for the uplifting and furthering 
of our great civilization.

scholarship we find the great ' "the

knowledge of basketry, cooking, manual train-

sick. This leads us to the conclusion that 
whatever individual steps are taken, whi 
i! be in carpentry, short-hand, or Greek, the 
state is looking for citizens, for men and 
women, who will be useful, thrifty, self-sup-

There is no employer of indiscriminate 
labor in any city but is keenly awake to the 
desirable possibilities of the evening-schools, 
there is no manufacturer who does not realize 
the beneficent results of having his workmen 
attend them. As a natural result you will find 
broad-cast, a sentiment radically in favi 
such an attendance. And the Pole, Greek, 
Italian, German, Russian, who avails himself 
of the great opportunity is sure to find hearty 
encouragement with those who pay him the 
price of his bread-and-butter.

the individual. And the gain of a few hun-

try to do business, to earn his living, to be- 
came a citizen, is as great an achievment as 
the rapid progress of some advanced pupil.

women and children, seized the great oppor- 
tunity offered in the Rochester evening schools. 
— A little army of individuals, each with his 
own peculiar need and aim, but all enlisted 
under the praiseworthy cause of improvement. 

In this mass of learning-hungry, we find all 
grades, from those who are learning the rudi-

who are making their high school "points" in 
Latin and Greek. 

For the first time a regular course of study 
has been adapted to the needs of the evening 
school, and pupils are enabled to do the reg- 
ular work of the seventh and eighth grades 
and complete the high school course. Here, 
too, we find a commercial department, where

EVERY FRIDAY 



The Evolution of Donaldson Vickers 

Telling how a Clergyman Embraced the Opportunity for Righting Himself with God 

and Woman, thus Redeeming His own Soul 



I. 

A CONGERIES of peculiar circumstances 
had made of Sara's mentality a curious 
piece of patchwork. No fact that she knew 
fitted into any other fact in her mind, 
because she had never acquired any knowl- 
edge by study. "Things just come to me," 
was her explanation for knowing out-of- 
the-way information. She was intelligent 
on many obscure questions and uncom- 
mon subjects ; sympathetic to tenderness ; 
merry, poetical, artistic; beautiful — to the tips 
of her dainty boots, unwittingly so, — but never 
serious. 

She was too young to be passee, for Sara 
was only twenty-two, yet there was a colorless 
thread of indifference running through and 
spoiling the pattern of her life. 

There had grown up in the minds of those 
who knew her a feeling of resentment at the 
thought that she could ever marry; that she 
could ever be all that she was to any one 
man. One liked to drink in Sara's delicious 
personality as one takes of the starlight, and 
the sunlight, and all the delightful, free per- 
meating joys of nature. And Sara was as 
impersonal in the radiating of her self as were 
these elements of the universe. 

For all this, there must have been a touch 
of the woman in her somewhere, — sometime — 
for occasionaly there were tears on her pillow, 
which she kissed and then patted lovingly till 
the place was dry, just as she would have 
smoothed the tumbled curls of some crying 
child and said, "there, there, dear," till the 
tears were all gone. 

Then, for a day or two, Sara preferred to be 
alone, to dabble in her painting. There was 
a far-away look in her lustrous brown eyes — 
an unanswering look — such as one sees upon 
the surface of a still lake where only the dis- 
tant, moving clouds are mirrored. 

Few objects ever grew into recognizable 
form under her brush, and even these would 
often require a label. Her best attempt was 
a little child, sometimes an infant in billows 
of rippling lace; again, as a child of three or 
five years, with grave eyes and premature face. 
Sometimes there was almost a suggestion of 
art promise in the face of this child in which 
there was never a wandering from the ideal 
conception attempted in the portrayal of the 
broad brow, the straight refined nose, and the 
full, affectionate lips. 

One tearless, and very typical day in Sara's 
life, she was playfully showing her "den" to 
an artist of some repute, as a child might 
show her play-house. He smiled indulgently 
at the evident and untutored labor in the re- 
sults of her brush-work. He knew that she 
could not be serious in this, for Sara was 
never really serious in anything; there was a 



MARGARET ANDREWS OLDHAM 

disconnected and wasted beauty and effort in it 
all that appealed to the man of utilized 
aesthetics. What if she should really be am- 
bitious in this art? Suppose this were, after 
all, the key of her mysterious, tantalizing, 
uncertain heart? 

A wave of hope swept him to her side. 
"Sara," he said, with seductive intonation, 
"you might, some day, become a distinguished 
artist; you, yourself, are the perfection of art 
conception. If you will frame my life with 
your love, place a halo over it with your 
beauty, and poetize it with your presence, I 
can become anything, and you" — 

"Yes, and I" — , she repeated teasingly. 
"Finish your fairy-tale. Why didn't you say, 
'you will live happy ever afterward?' Come 
now, I was prepared to hear you make fun; 
I showed it to you for that purpose, but not 
to have this added to it! This is just my 
little play-house — that is all." 

His eyes rested on the face of the last little 
boy of about five years, presumably, whose 
cupid lips were hardly yet dry. "Who is that 
child?" he asked. 

"I never saw him," answered Sara, "he is 
purely ideal." 

"But he seems to have grown up with you; 
here he is, an infant; here a little older; here, 
again,' clearly the same face." 

A wistful, woman look came into her face 
then, that this man who loved her had never 
seen before, or believed her capable of. "Tell 
me about this," he pleaded. "I never knew you 
interested in anything, or in any person, as 
you seem to be in this child." 

They were standing before the easel; the 
southern sun pointed a golden finger at the 
baby-face. Sara was a creature of impulse ; 
an emotion swept over her like an angel's 
wing. She put out her hand tremblingly 
toward the picture. "This is the only — thing — 
on this earth that I love," she said, "except 
father, of course. I never saw this child, or 
one like him, but — I love him, I love him ! I 
even kiss his crude canvas lips." 

How the artist in him wanted to sketch her 
as she said that! It was beautiful, and all 
woman, too ! He held the key at last. 

"Sara, dear," he said, very tenderly. "I will 
help you love this boy; I will paint him for 
you in such perfect and glorious expression, 
such natural and responsive conception, that 
you will expect him to step out from the 
canvas. I will teach you to paint him." 

Her face flushed, her eyes drooped, her hand 
lay impassive between his. He went on: 

"You can give him all your love; I can 
wait." 

She did not move, only her lips twitched 
just a little nervously. Then he drew her 
very, very tenderly to him, pressed her cheek 



close against his and continued, almost as 
though he were crooning a lullaby : 

"And then, some sweet day, this little boy 
•will come into your life; he will press his 
little lips to yours — like this, and put his arms 
about your neck, and you will love him— oh, 
so much more than you ever loved his picture, 
and then — oh, Sara ! then, you will love me 
for his sake." 

He could feel her breath coming faster and 
her heart beating quicker,' and — could he be- 
lieve it? She leaned on him a trifle willingly! 

He waited just a moment to check the in- 
toxication of his senses, and to dispel the fear 
of the illusion; then, in the same quiet, purring 
tone asked: "Will you, darling?" 

And Sara promised. 

But the "slip 'twixt the cup and the lip" 
befalls more mortals than any volume, save 
the Great Book of the Tragedies of Hearts, 
can enroll, and the next month, which was to 
have been given over to wedding prepara- 
tions, unrolled a startling panorama. 
II. 

Only once had Sara left her home, and that 
was the two years she was at boarding school, 
from her fifteenth to her seventeenth year. 
She had then been brought home ill, and, 
before the long delirium of fever, had released 
her consciousness, her mother was laid to 
rest by the same old rector that had performed 
her marriage ceremony. Then Sara vowed 
that she would never leave her home, or her 
grief-crazed father, and this loving vow she had 
religiously kept for nearly six years. She had 
stipulated that, after her marriage, she should 
live in her old home, amid the familiar scenes 
and friends of her childhood. 

But just as Sara was preparing to enter 
into this new and mysteriously delightful 
phase of life, her father, Mr. Durand, died 
suddenly, leaving her in the care of an old 
aunt who had taken the mother's place and the 
servants of the house who were an integral 
part of her life. 

Following close upon the death of her 
father, came the death of her old rector, the 
patient, saintly old man who had tried to lead 
her feet in the right path, and who had given 
his blessing on her coming marriage. She 
felt a sense of personal grief and loss in his 
death, more so than in that of her father who 
was a scientist, always buried in his study, 
having little to do with the world outside his 
books, since the death of his wife. 

The old rector had loved her as a father, 
and she had mourned him as would a child. 

So the marriage, instead of being a great 
social event, in a flower-decked church, was 
to be a quiet affair at home, after a few 
months of seclusion. Sara was not conven-

EVERY FRIDAY 



No Man's Man 

or a Puppet Jdan ? 



YV7 HAT kind of a man would be selected as the executive head 
*" of a private business, capitalized at over 100 millions of dol- 
lars, with annual expenditures of over 5 millions, conducted in the 
interests of over 200,000 stockholders? 

Would the shareholders choose a man of undoubted respect- 
ability and amiability, but whose record induced the impression that 
he would cater more, nay even betray, the interests of his employers 
to hostile, rival or scheming interests, that he might be, and prob- 
ably would be, subservient to pernicious influence, that he might 
wink complacently at corruption and mismanagement, that he might 
permit waste of the stockholders' funds, or their extravagant use, 
that, indeed, the chief price of his elevation was a tacit compact that 
such an arrangement would be permitted? 

WOULD THEY, SOBERLY AND SERIOUSLY, COUNTE- 
NANCE THE SPECTACLE OF SUCH A MAN IN CHARGE 
OF THEIR AFFAIRS? 

Or would they select a man of rugged integrity, of honest intent, 
whose whole record, even in a minor place in the administration of 
that corporation's affairs, has been one of virtue and protest against 
extravagance, mismanagement and corruption? 

The city of Rochester is a corporation — its assessed valuation is 
considerably over 100 millions of dollars — its annual expenditures 
are over five millions of dollars and its stockholders, in other words, 
its citizens, numbering two hundred thousand people, are face to 
face in the political campaign this year with just this business propo- 
sition. 

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO, MR. TAXPAYER? 

You know generally about your business — you have, however, 
but a meagre idea of "the inside" — the venal grasping of the public 
service corporations for advantage, their deals with the bosses, the 
bosses' deals with the public-service corporations and the grafters. 
The grafters and the public-service corporations are voraciously 
insistent that the bosses shall fill public offices with puppet-men, 
"safe and sane" men, as the Harrimans and the Archbolds and the 
Rogerses call them. 

Two candidates are presented to the voters of Rochester for the 
important office of mayor. One of them is confessedly the candidate 
of the republican "machine" and therefore of its Boss, for the Boss 
of Monroe is the "machine" and the "machine" is the Boss. The 
other is no man's man. 

Whatever the faults charged to Mr. Cutler's administration the 
fact stands out that the grafters of the machine have had hard sled- 
ding during his regime and the corporations have been forced to 
reluctantly yield more adequate service and a better rental for their 
franchises. 

When Mr. Cutler, last June, announced his intention of retiring 
from the mayoralty candidacy the corporations exulted and the dis- 
gruntled henchmen wearily cooling their heels outside "the crib", 
beamed with joy. 

"Now," said the grafters, "we will force the Boss to give us a 
mayor who will be plastic" (and that means a mayor who will 
"stand for the boys" and the boys' dark schemes). 



"Now," said the corporations, "we may hope for the nomination 
and election of a man who will be 'safe and sane', who will 'let-up' 
in the endeavor to force us to yield an honest return for the privi- 
leges we have looted from the people." 

Later, at the request of friends, Mr. Cutler indicated that under 
certain circumstances he might accept a rcnomination. THEN 
CAME THAT FAMOUS CONFERENCE. Some say that Mr. 
Cutler was coldly informed that "the business interests", which 
meant in this case the corporations, would not contribute to his 
campaign fund and that he must therefore stand aside. Not a 
thought of his record or his qualifications. Others say that Mr. 
Cutler was blandly told that he might have the nomination but that 
the patronage must be controlled by another. Both stories may be 
true. At all events Mr. Cutler was ruthlessly thrust aside and 
Hiram H. Edgerton, true enough a man of respectability and 
amiability, became the Puppet-Man. 

And Hiram H. Edgerton is Boss-stamped. The corporations, 
the grafters and the Boss wanted a plastic man, a handy man, an 
agreeable man, whose record of fealty and puppetry would reassure 
the "interests" — hence, Edgerton. 

For eight years Mr. Edgerton has stood, or sat, as President of 
the common council. Does anyone deny that throughout that time 
the thumb of The Boss was his brain and that he is now the candi- 
date of the Boss, nominated by the Boss because he was "a compla- 
cent, amiable person" and acceptable to "the interests" and that if 
elected mayor he will be aught but a cog, even a willing tool, of 
the "machine"? 

The truckling republican press prates of his kindliness — it is 
conceded. They sing his praises as a fair-minded man towards his 
employees — granted. But the workingmen of Rochester to-day, and 
the great body of the people as well, are not considering respect- 
ability and amiability as the sole qualifications for the headship of 
their corporation— they are seeking RESPONSIBILITY— an exec- 
utive whose record does not shout from the house-tops that he is the 
political creature of another. 

Consider the pristine nerve of the Boss — he points to Mr. 
Edgerton and says "Elect him on Cutler's record !" But the people 
are looking forward, not backward. They are not considering rec- 
ords of administrations but of candidates, and the reason of their 
candidacy, and their probable efficiency if elected. They are heart- 
sick of deals— of betrayal of their interests and their pockets. They 
know the menace and the defiant attitude of bossism. They want a 
REAL mayor— a president who will administer the affairs of their 
corporation for THEIR welfare— not a mannikin, not a mass of 
respectability and amiability but a courageous man, owing fealty to 
none but the people, no tool of the corporations or the tool of a tool 
of the corporations. 

But no boss nominated William Ward, the democratic candi- 
date, for mayor although it is more than likely that the bosses 
would have chosen to have him owe his nomination to them if they 
could. They would like to bind him with the fetters of embarrass-

EVERY FRIDAY 



Cards and Card Leaving 

One of the Obligations of Society that is Exacting in its Demands and Which, 

Accomplished Well, Becomes an Art in Itself 



TO the woman, matron or debutante who 
takes her place in the world of society 
and intends to fulfill her tacitly assumed obli- 
gations, the matter of calls and card leaving 
must rank first in the order of these obliga- 
tions, and will make a somewhat severe de- 
mand upon her time and attention. The men 
of her family add their share to her burdens, 
for they have neither time nor inclination 
for the never-ending round of calls entailed 
by participation in dinners, dances, teas, etc. 
Bachelors, however, cannot shirk their duties, 
and society holds them relentlessly to their 
fulfillment or, if they fail in this, drops them ; 
save in a few instances where they are too 
richly endowed either with worldly goods or 
social gifts to be put aside. 

Hours of calling are in the larger cities 
limited to the two afternoon hours, from four 
to six o'clock, and where the lady has "a day 
at home," as far as possible calls should be 
made upon that day. It sometimes is impos- 
sible to do this, as when several ladies have 
the same day, and in larger places the great 
distances preventing more than two or three 
calls within the prescribed hours. Then one 
can only apologize for the necessity of calling 
upon another day. Of course when it is only 
a question of leaving cards, without asking 
for the ladies of the house, all days are the 
same. 

In smaller cities and suburban towns where 
earlier hours are customary for lunch and din- 
ner, formal visits may be paid from three, or 
even half-past two, to five in the afternoon, 
and in these smaller places informal and 
friendly calls are frequently made in the even- 
ing. 

There is a commonly accepted view regard- 
ing the much debated subject of first calls, 
or calls upon new acquaintances, that they 
should not be made until a meeting elsewhere 
with an introduction has taken place, or where 
the existence of mutual friends affords a 
ground for desiring the acquaintance. Some 
ladies have adopted a fashion of sending their 
cards for certain reception days instead of 
making a first call, and if this is responded to 
by a call, the acquaintance is established. This 
custom may recommend itself as a saving of 
time, but can scarcely be regarded as a gra- 
cious and friendly way of receiving a new- 
comer into the ranks of one's acquaintances. 

First calls should be returned promptly, 
never allowing the interval to extend beyond 
ten or fourteen days. It is the custom in all 
American cities for residents to call first upon 
new comers. Washington is an exception, as 
etiquette there must be more or less influenced 
by the presence of the diplomatic, foreign, and 



KEITH GORDON 

official elements, which will be separately taken 
up. 

A gentleman does not call upon a lady un- 
less she has invited him to do so, or he does 
so accompanied by a mutual friend, who gives 
him the requisite introduction. When calling 
upon ladies whom he knows but slightly, a 
gentleman sends up his card, but where he 
knows the ladies well he does not do so, 
merely giving his name to the servant. If 
calling upon the sons or daughters of the 
house, he should leave cards for the father 
and mother, whether he knows them or not. 
Regarding the routine of calling, if a lady 
is driving the man-servant will first inquire 
if the lady of the house is at home; if she is, 
the lady hands her card to the servant at the 
door, who should be ready to receive it, and 
precede her to the drawing-room. If at home 
and intending to receive callers, a lady should 
be in her drawing or reception room during 
calling hours. At the conclusion of her visit, 
which if a formal one, should not exceed fif- 
teen or twenty minutes, she must leave two 
of her husband's cards, if the hostess is a mar- 
ried lady, and one of each of her daughters 
who are in society, if their names are not upon 
her own card. She may also leave cards for 
a grown-up son, but it is better that he should 
make his own calls if taking his part in social 
life. If the lady of the house is not at home, 
these cards are left with her own, which she 
will also leave for any daughters of the house 
who have taken their places in the social ranks, 
but many elderly ladies do not leave cards for 
these younger ones. 

If calling upon a friend who is visiting in 
the house of a lady with whom you are not 
acquainted, you must leave a card for her. 
And whether you ask to see her or not, will 
probably be dependent upon the attitude of 
your friend, who will doubtless know if a 
meeting would be agreeable to her hostess. 
It is well to avoid even the appearance of 
making your friend's presence in her house 
an excuse for forcing an acquaintance if it is 
not desired. 

An invitation to dinner or lunch, whether 
accepted or not, must be followed by a call, 
and this is equally imperative for men as 
women, and this call must be made always 
within the week following the dinner or lunch- 
eon. Invitations to balls, musicales, theater- 
parties, garden parties, and "at homes," 
whether accepted or not, will be also occasions 
for a call within a week of the event, but it 
is not imperative in these cases to ask for the 
ladies, and cards may be left without doing 
so, but if the call is made upon a lady's day 
then it would be necessary to enter and make 
the call a personal one. 



There are calls of congratulation to be made 
upon receiving announcement of a daughter's 
engagement, upon the birth of a child, or any 
occasion which especially calls for the good 
wishes of a friend. When cards are left upon 
such occasions "congratulations" may be writ- 
ten over the name upon the card. There are 
also visits of condolence to be made, and in 
these cases inquiries are made for the mem- 
bers of the family, and one card is left, which 
may be inscribed with such an expression, as, 
"With deepest sympathy," but you do not ask 
to see any one, as you would do in the case 
of congratulations. These must be personal 
visits, and cards should not be sent by ser- 
vants nor by post. 

Visits for the purpose of inquiring for a 
sick friend, and of condolence are returned by 
cards thanking for the kind inquiries and for 
sympathy, the former upon recovery, the lat- 
ter at such time after as the affected person 
determines to renew their social duties. Visits 
of congratulation, if very formal, may be re- 
turned by cards, but by personal calls if 
among more intimate acquaintances. A bride 
usually sends out cards for two or three re- 
ception days as soon as she is settled in her 
new home, and sometimes cards announcing 
these days are sent with the wedding invita- 
tions. Her new acquaintances will then call 
upon her upon those days, and she will not 
call even upon her friends until they have 
called upon her. 

Strangers in town who wish to see friends 
or acquaintances whom they have there, should 
send their cards with address by post. 

On returning from abroad or after any con- 
tinued absence from home one sends cards to 
their entire circle of acquaintances with whom 
they wish to renew social relations, and when 
one is going away for a long absence or is 
removing to another city, it is customary to 
sefnd cards with the letters P. P. C. (Pour 
prendre conge) in the left hand lower corner. 
These may be sent by post also. In the mat- 
ter of calls and cards one general rule may 
be always followed. A personal call is re- 
turned by a call, a card is returned by a card, 
and very few occasions arise where a call 
would be returned by a card, or a card by a 
call.

TO bring the influence of Velasquez and 
other great masters to the modern stu- 
dent and art-lover, is a noble purpose in any 
place or clime; but to make Rochester the 
field for such a mission is to undertake a task 
that requires the guiding power of an absolute 
faith in the great possibilities of this life, es- 
pecially at a time when public sentiment is 
so fully engrossed with commercial and scien- 
tific competition. 

"There is so much power in faith," says 
Bulwer Lytton, "even when faith is applied 
but to things human, that let a man but be 
firmly persuaded that he is born to do some 
day, what at that moment seems impossible, 
and fifty to one that he does it before he 
dies." 

It is such a faith as this, that prompts Albert 
Prentiss Ward to locate his studio in Roch- 
ester and create an American art center in 
this city. 

Mr. Ward is a young man of genius, and 
inherits from his New England revolutionary 
ancestry, sterling qualities of courage, that 
will enable him to accomplish whatever pur- 
pose he has in view, for the growth and ad- 
vancement of art. He is descended from a 
family of portrait painters, and at an early 
age showed marked abilitv in the art of design 
and color. Fortunately for him, his parents 
encouraged the gifted boy, and gave him every 
advantage of an art education. 

Mr. Ward was born in Worcester, Mass., 
but when a young child, came with his parents 
to Rochester, where he attended the public 
schools, Mechanics Institute, and the Univer- 
sity of Rochester, after which he continued 





" DEATH OF ST. BARBARA " 
(Copyright J907 by Albert Prenlus Ward.) 



ALBERT PRENTISS WARD 
A Modern Disciple of Velasquez 

his studies in the Massachusetts Institute of 
Technology' in Boston. His artistic abilities 
became so marked, that his father, Mr. A. W. 
Ward, sent him to Paris, where he could re- 
ceive inspiration and instruction from the best 
modern artists, in the "Academe Julian" and 
"Ecole des Beaux-Arts." He was a pupil of 
Benjamin Constant, Jean Paul Laurens, S. 
Seymour Thomas and James McNeil Whistler. 
During a portion of the years spent in Paris. 
Mr. Ward was accompanied by his devoted 
mother, to whom he owed much of the art- 
instinct that guided him in his work. 

To be a pupil and friend of S. Seymour 
Thomas is the desire and ambition of all 
modern art students in Paris, for he is at the 
present time the greatest master of painting. 
This privilege Mr. Ward enjoyed, and before re- 
turning to America, made a memorable sketch- 
ing tour of Holland, accompanied by Whistler 
and Seymour Thomas. 

Rochester may well be proud of its young 
citizen, for Mr. Ward, who is still in his 
thirties, has gained a high place in the art 
circles of Paris, and his purpose now is to 
extend his art-work in his native land. 

Mr. Ward is an indefatigable worker, and 
puts his soul into the composition of the sub- 
ject before him. During the present year, he 
has been daily in his studio at 99 Park avenue, 
painting four great works for the mural 
decoration of a large Roman Catholic church 
recently completed, in one of the leading cities 
of the United States. 



These original mural paintings are partially 
completed in the artist's studio and then sealed 
to the church wall, where they are finished ac- 
cording to their surroundings. The subjects 
of the two largest, which are twelve feet wide 
and nine feet high, arc "Mary Magdalene" and 
"Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane." The 
two smaller panels are, "The Death of St. 
Francis Xavier " and the " Death of St. 
Barbara." In viewing these remarkable can- 
vases, one is impressed with the artist's per- 
ception of truth and beauty of light, "the light 
of the white radiance of day." Also, the ex- 
quisite harmony of color with which he fills 
his pictures. 

Nothing is overdone. He speaks the language 
of the great Spanish Master, "who drew the 
minds of men that lived, breathed and seemed 
ready to walk out of their frames," who holds 
"as 'twere, the mirror up to nature to show 
virtue her own feature, scorn her own image, 
and the very age and body of the time his 
form and pressure." 

Mr. Ward has a brilliant future before him, 
for he is an enthusiast whose guide is Nature, 
and whost delight is Truth, which, will lead 
him to the highest place among American 
artists of the present day.

All Eyes on the 'Varsity To=morroW 



If Rochester Football Players Can Lower the Colors of Hamilton, Much Will be 

Gained to Atone for Previous Disappointments 



THE local 'Varsity football squad has 
reached a crisis and passed safely 
through its gravest stages, unless present indi- 
cations count for naught. The Niagara game 
marked the on-coming of the danger point; 
the Colgate disaster, its culmination, and the 
victory over St. Lawrence the turning point, 
with convalescence in sight. 

The origin of all the trouble may be traced 
to that unfortunate clash with Syracuse, the 
wisdom of which game so early in the season, 
if at all, has been gravely questioned by 
followers of the team. The line at best was 



HUGH A. SMITH 

gate game in a nutshell. The game afforded 
no real line on the 'Varsity, as it could scarce- 
ly be considered a 'Varisity aggregation which 
faced its ancient rivals. 

The truth of the above axiom was further 
demonstrated last Saturday, when the wearers 
of the yellow, with Captain Jordan and Pierce 
back in line and Keiber in the game, played 
all around St. Lawrence, although tallying but 
a single touchdown. The men, playing with 
grim determination and revived confidence, 
appeared like a rejuvenated team, and the 
Cantonians were never dangerous. 



'Varsity faces its perpetual football hoodoo, 
Hamilton, on Culver Field to-morrow, and 
interest is keen. While Keiber will not be in 
the game, Symonds may be back, completing 
the original line, and hope is running high 
since the team found its feet last Saturday. 
If it can turn the trick on Hamilton, the sea- 
son will prove the most successful in years in 
that one greatly desired achievement. Hamil- 
ton generally bewails its weakness during 
early days of the season, only to develop the 
needed strength and craftiness in due season 
for its games with Colgate and Rochester.

altogether too light to afford the loss of three 
such men as Captain Jordan, Symonds and 
Pierce, who were put out of commission at a 
critical stage of the season by the Salt City 
monsters. 

A most patent fact disclosed by the Colgate 
game is the important part played by just two 
or three men on a line. Cripple the line in 
but one or two positions, and, regardless of 
the strength of the rest of the team, it can be 
made to look an out-classed aggregation. 
This generality tells the sad tale of the Col- 



The team still disclosed an inability to land 
a "knock-out," when it was held once for 
downs on St. Lawrence's three-yard line and 
again on the ten-yard mark. There was an 
increased diversity of attack, however, which 
was encouraging. The forward pass was neg- 
otiated successfully several times, while Sauls- 
man proved a clever ground gainer round the 
wing. Pray is proving himself a tower of 
strength in advancing the leather on straight 
football, with Fowle and Ramaker holding up 
their end nicely. 



The boys from Clinton held Cornell to a 23 
to score in its opening game, a creditable 
showing, but were swamped 43 to by Lafa- 
yette last Saturday. This latter score must 
be taken with a grain of salt, as the Easton 
institution frequently occasions a nervous 
feeling among the big elevens. If, perchance, 
the Lafayette game had the same effect upon 
Hamilton as the Syracuse game had upon the 
local collegians, there is still another source 
of hope.

Indians Lead All in Gridiron Wor% 

While Admitting the Syracuse Men a Very Formidable Team, the Red Skins Showed 

Superior Knowledge in Football Tactics 



THE curtain of the gridiron stage was 
raised a little higher last week and we 
can now get a better view of the strenuous 
football actors as the plot thickens. One thing 
we do see, and that is, that most of the teams 
are working to the limit on open play and 
are not throwing away their valuable time on 
blind line plunging. At present writing I 
should say that the Indians leave all the first- 
class teams >'n the brilliancy of their forward 
passing tactics. 

The Indian-Syracuse game last Saturday 
was a fine illustration of this. Syracuse after 



GEORGE H. BROOKE 

The Indians take a lot of pride in their foot- 
ball. The "yellow" streak is an unknown color 
among them, and they take their knocks stoic- 
ally. On the other hand, they are super- 
sensitive about public opinion, and they love to 
stand in the limelight as much as any matinee 
idol. In the winter of '96 I was invited to 
Carlisle by Orville Hickock, then coach of 
the Indians, to handle the kickers for a few 
days before the final game with Brown in 
Madison Square Garden. One afternoon I 
noticed that there was a little friction between 
some of the players. After practice I asked 



Duquesne. In this the Indian clad in foot- 
ball armor stood with his foot on the white 
man's neck. 

"These two pictures," continued the coach, 
"made the rest of the Indians so jealous of 
Cayou that for a week afterward they would 
throw down the ball and say ' give it to 
Cayou, he's the best player.' " 

Yale has made big strides in the modern 
game. She is working on the hard accurate 
forward pass, whereas last year she used the 
high, long pass to a greater extent. Her 
coaches have a great kicker in Coy, the full

her excellent game with the powerful Yale 
aggregation is recognized as one of the most 
formidable machines on the gridiron. With the 
giant Horr at tackle and Banks, the brilliant 
open field quarter-back, and a heavy bunch 
to back their efforts, the Salt City team is 
hard to beat. Yet the Redskins, with a lighter 
team on a wet field, out-generaled and out- 
played them in the fiercest kind of a battle. 
Mount Pleasant is a keen general, and realizes 
the daring necessary in modern attack. The 
policy of "hold the ball" is antiquated, and the 
quarter-backs who stick to it might as well 
take seats in the background of the picture. 



Hickock what was the matter, and was in- 
formed that there was some jealousy because 
one player had been praised more than others. 
"Back in '93," said Hickock, "the Indians 
went down to Pittsburg to play the Duquesne 
Athletic Club, and beat them easily. Cayou, 
the swiftest of the Indians, made some wonder- 
ful runs. An artist happened to be among 
the spectators, and a week afterwards he sent 
two pictures to Cayou in token of his admir- 
ation. One picture showed the battle of 
Duquesne, fought in 1793. The white soldier 
stood with his foot on the Indian warrior's 
neck. The other pictured the 1893 battle of 



back, and they are wisely seeking the fastest 
pair of ends in the college to follow up the 
kicks. Piggott and Alcott seem the selections. 
Clever coaches are teaching their men this 
year to place their kicks and to make them 
difficult to handle rather than to try for dis- 
tance alone. I see that Annapolis got the ball 
within scoring distance of Vanderbilt's goal 
last Saturday by a cleverly placed punt by 
Douglass, and the recovery of the ball by 
Dague, the fast Navy right end. Annapolis 
beat Swarthmore last year on just such a play 
by the same players.

Farmer Starkweather's Obstinacy 



To It the State of New York Has Erected and Maintained a Monument— An Incident 

in New York History 



NEARLY a century ago, near Eagle Har- 
bor, a small hamlet in Orleans county, 
lived Andrew Starkweather, to whose stub- 
bornness the great State of New York has 
erected and maintained a monument all these 
years. True, it is not a marble shaft with a 
glowing epitaph, nor does it record the glo- 
rious deeds of a warrior brave, yet it speaks 
eloquently its message and generations have 
wondered at the man. 

At the time of the construction of the orig- 
inal Erie canal, Starkweather owned about 
fifty acres of land, a farm of ordinary value 
in that community and worth not more than 
seventy or eighty dollars an acre. It was so 
situated that the canal divided it, leaving the 
house on one side and the barn on the other. 
The old man bitterly opposed the digging of 
the Clinton ditch, and as a sort of peace offer- 
ing and to settle the claim against the state, 
for Starkweather was reckoned of some im- 
portance in the locality, the officials offered 
to build a bridge across the waterway and 
maintain it forever, or they would authorize 
the payment of $5,000 for his claim. The ob- 
durate farmer seemed to care naught for the 
large sum proffered, but insisted that the 
bridge be constructed. 

This was done, and the state, faithful to 
its agreement, saw to it that the structure 
rivaled any along the route of the big ditch. 
And there it stood until 1863, when the canal 
was enlarged, receiving, at various times, the 
necessary repairs and improvements, an ever- 
present proclamation to the public of the bit- 



M. J. WHEDON 

ter opposition of a man who w;is decidedly 
against the construction of this great water- 
way, and who, despite personal loss, insisted 
on his rights to the letter. 

When the canal was enlarged, a new bridge 
was built at this place, and although the orig- 
inal owner of the property had long since 
passed away, his son inherited the idiosyn- 
cracies of the father, and for years had the 
sole benefit of the bridge maintained at pub- 
lic expense. No one crosses the span aside 
from these connected with the household, as 
there is no roadway approaching it on either 
side, except the narrow pathway from the 
barn on the north to the old ivy-covered brick 
house on the south. 

Three or four years ago, the structure had 
become dilapidated and the timbers so weak 
that the superintendent of the division deemed 
a new one advisible. Accordingly, a modern 
steel bridge was built. And there it stands 
today, the wonder of strangers with its story 
almost forgotten by the old residents of the 
neighborhood. With the construction of the 
barge canal, it is quite likely that a fourth 
bridge will be built, and yet scarcely a score 
of people will cross it in a twelve months. 
Today it is owned by the grandson of Andrew 
Starkweather, and while the farm is not as 
valuable as it was when the old pioneer first 
made his compact with the state, yet there 
has never been the slightest indication that 
the original agreement would be abrogated. 

Some of the mathematically inclined, resid- 
ing in the vicinity, have figured out what could 



have been done with this $5,000 if the original 
Starkweather had sagacity enough to accept 
the offer made by the state and put the money 
out at interest until the present. With the 
original amount re-invested only once in ten 
years, and interest computed at five per cent., 
and it would have been easy to have obtained 
seven in those days, the princely offer would 
have amounted by this time to more than 
$350,000. If the interest had never been com- 
pounded, yet it would amount to something 
better than $25,000, or more than ten times the 
value of the farm today. 

If this interest money had been used to buy 
farming land at fifty dollars an acre, it would 
purchase a seven thousand acre tract, or more 
land than there is in the town where the prop- 
erty is located, and the next one adjoining. 
Or, if the owner had wished to do something 
for education, he could have built a new school 
house for every school district in the county, 
better ones than are now provided, too, and 
pay the salary of the school commissioners 
for a score of years. From a philanthropic 
point of view, the accrued sum would pay 
off the whole canal tax for the barge canal 
in the entire county, and leave thousands for 
other benefactions. 

And, yet, here it stands to-day, a bridge 
which has almost in reality cost the Stark- 
weathers enough, not only to allow them to 
live in luxury all these years, but to be one of 
the richest families in the county. The pio- 
neer of the family paid the price of having 
his own way.

The GraVe of Daniel O. Shays 

Comparatively Few Know That Leader of Famous Insurrection was Buried in Livingston 

County — A Patriot as Well as a Rebel 



SAMUEL T. JENNINGS 



WHAT boy or girl of school age is there 
who has not heard of Shays' rebel- 
lion. They have studied United States history 
and have read of the insurrection in Massa- 
chusetts in 1786 which threw the country into 




SHAYS' HOME AT PELHAM, MASS. 

a fever of excitement. Perhaps it was taken 
too seriously at the time, for after events 
showed its leader to be a rather harmless, 
phlegmatic, portly individual, and not a dan- 
gerous rebel; but just then the country was 
in an excitable condition, and a rebellion of 
any sort naturally worked men up to a pitch 
of frenzy. 

But, although the story of Shays' rebellion 
lives and has a place in the text books, and is 
a familiar matter to all who have studied 
history, it is doubtful if there are many who 
know that the leader of that famous insurrec- 
tion is buried in Livingston county, far from 
the scene of his rebellion. How many are 
there who know that after the excitement at- 
tendant upon the insurrection had died away 
and Shays had disappeared from public inter- 
est he went to Western New York, which was 
then the "Far West" of the country, lived 
and died in the town of Sparta, Livingston 
county, and was buried in a small country 
cemetery? 

Incidentally how many are there who could 
have told his name correctly off hand? He 
is called Shay, O'Shay, O'Shays and various 
other incorrect names as often as he is named 
correctly. "Shays" with the final "s", is the 
correct spelling of his name. But the present 
interest lies in his resting place rather than 
in the memory of the insurrection that made 
him famous. Briefly the history of his rebel- 
lion may be told as follows : 

The Event Reviewed 

The American colonics, after they had 
shaken off the rule of England, were in an 
unsettled state. The government was not 
centralized and the master minds of Hamilton, 
Washington, and other political leaders were 
;it work trying to bring order out of chaos. 
Suggestion after suggestion was offered and 



debuted, and for upwards of seven years but 
little was accomplished. Of course this con- 
dition could produce nothing in the way of 
prosperity or confidence and the prevailing 
state became one of disaster. The statesmen 
at work trying to solve the difficult problems 
were forced to resort to taxation to tide over 
the delays. Promises were held out and the 
colonies waited in the hope that better times 
would come, but finally they became restless. 
Impatient hearts influenced those less impa- 
tient. A condition of unrest spread through- 
out the land, and finally the storm gathered 
and broke in fury. Massachusetts was the 
scene and Daniel O. Shays the leader. Taxa- 
tion had become so unbearable that many 



were unable to pay. It was estimated that 
the average debt of each person was $200, 
and hundreds were thrust into prison for non- 
payment. 

This aroused the ire of Shays and he re- 
belled. He had fought in the Revolutionary 
war and had served with such gallantry at 
Bunker Hill that he was brevetted captain for 
his distinguished services. Naturally the far- 
mers flocked around the captain, and, led by 
him, they marched to Springfield 1,000 strong 
to seize the arsenal there, but his forces were 
forestalled by the militia. He succeeded, how- 
ever, in stopping the session of the Supreme 
court and put an end to all actions for debt.

Limited Time 



OLIVER STURGES JONES 



JUST why those who control directly or 
indirectly the majority of the country's 
so-called high-class theatrical attractions — 
high in price, but not always high in quality 
of entertainment — have designated Rochester 
as being little better than a "one night stand," 




ROBERT BRUCE MANTELL 

Tragedian of great merit who will be seen in the roles of 

" Shylock " and "King Lear" lit the 

Lyceum tomorrow 

is probably best known to themselves, but cer- 
tain it is that the perpetual change in the menu 
at the local theater of the syndicate is a cause 
of much querulous comment as well as no 
little disappointment or inconvenience to a 
very large number of people hereabouts who 
cannot always arrange their business or private 
engagements to suit the caprices of the Great 
Moguls of the stage. 

Last week, three separate companies of 
players were offered for public patronage, and 
the same thing has happened this week. At- 
tention to this, let it be understood, is drawn 
as much for the benefit of the play-goer as 
for the play-actor in the hope that something 
may be done to remedy the "take-it-or-leave- 
it" methods which are enforced upon both. 
For instance, Robert Mantell, whom William 
Winter, the dean of theatrical critics, has so 
frequently eulogized as the "greatest Shakes- 
perean actor in America," is, at comparatively 
short notice, brought to Rochester to-morrow 
for "two performances only," and then moves 
on to Buffalo, where he will give eight per- 
formances next week! 

Why this discrimination against Rochester 
in favor of Buffalo? The latter certainly has 
a total population nearly twice as large as 



Rochester, but almost two-thirds of these 
"Bison citizens" are unable to understand the 
English language! There must be some ex- 
planation for meting out the theatrical pabulum 
in such apparently incongruous doses. It does 
not happen once or twice, but many times, in 
a season that Rochester is so treated and it 
is hoped that these remarks will be heeded 
in the good natured spirit in which they are 
written and that some remedy will be forth- 
coming or at least, that some cause will be 
assigned why "three nights or less" is the limit 
set for the visits of theatrical companies here. 
In the meantime, it is a pleasure to be able 
to herald the coming of Mr. Mantell to the 
Lyceum to-morrow. As an actor of romantic 
and classic roles, a man of fine physique and 
commanding stage presence, he is well known 
in Rochester by those who recall his splen- 
did work in Monbars, Macbeth, Lady of Ly- 
ons, Othello and the other famous plays in 
his repertoire. And this visit too will be all 
the more noticeable because Mr. Mantell will 
be seen in two great Shakesperean charac- 
ters which he has not before given in Roch- 
ester. He will play "Shylock" to-morrow 
afternoon and "King Lear" at night. 



Elsie Jarais Makes Good 

ALTHOUGH the libretto of "The Hoyden," 
as furnished by Cosmo Hamilton, is not of 
a very high order, Elsie Janis made the most 
of her opportunities at the Lyceum last night 
and her "imitations," many of which and quite 




new to Rochester, delighted the audience. 
The music, which is by Paul Rubens, contains 
many delightful numbers and, altogether,

Prince, but a Princess instead, the argeement

Stage Notes and News 

London critics speak very well of the Belas- 
co-Egcrton Castle comedy "Sweet Kitty 
Belairs" which has just been produced at the 
llaymarket Theatre. Eva Moore is given 
high praise for her work as Kitty. 

Dorothy Donnelly, who created the chief 
role in "The Movers," — which play, by the 
way, is to be presented again this season — 
has been transferred by Henry B. Harris to 
"The Lion and the Mouse," in which play she 
will temporarily interpret the role of Shirley 
Rossmore. 

Alfred Sutro, author of the "Walls of Jeri- 
cho" and other plays has arrived in this coun- 
try to witness the first performance in America 
of his latest London success "John Glayde's 
Honor" which will be given in Milwaukee on 
November 4 with James K. Hackett in the 
leading role. 

The tour of "The White Hen" company 
came to a sudden end in Terre Haute, Ind. 
last Saturday night, due apparently, to some 
difficulties between Louis Mann and the Shu- 
berts, his managers. The company had been 
playing to big business in St. Louis and other 
western cities.

the theater-going public to make another re- 
vival of "Woodland," the Pixley and Luders

if the bookings of the season can be so ar-

This season's "Woodland" company is a

Last Cruise of the "Water Wagon

Incidents of a Trip by Four Rochester Boys Down the St. Lawrence River From the 

Thousand Islands to Quebec in a Sloop 



THE good ship Water Wagon with her 
jolly crew of four set sail from Rock- 
port one Saturday afternoon late this summer 
on a cruise to Quebec, which we had planned 
during the previous winter months. The 
"Water Wagon" when she came into our pos- 
session was a twenty-one foot sloop of rather 
ancient architecture. The cabin was a home- 
made affair distinguished by the name "Cafe" 
painted conspicuously on it in large red let- 
ters. The boat was old, she leaked badly and 
the cabin was a primitive affair with several 
of the windows broken, but what did we care 
for that? We were out for a good time and 
nothing could dampen our ardor. 

With a strong wind in ou.r favor, mainsail 
and spinnaker drawing full, we slipped rapidly

down stream past Chippewa Bay with its 
many little cottages and picturesque camps, 
past the little city of Brockville and at eight 
o'clock were tied up for the night at Ogdens- 
burg. Sunday morning saw us hoisting sail 
and starting on the most eventful day's sail 
the old "Water Wagon" had ever been 
through. We believed that by taking the 
South channel we could avoid the Galops 
Rapids but we were soon undeceived, for, 
rounding a point of Isle au Galop we swung

into rapids that threatened to wreck our craft. 
"Keep to the right, Bill, there's less broken 
water over there." We kept out of the broken 
water only to be swept ashore and on the 
rocks by a strong cross-current. "Into the 
water, fellows, she'll grind to pieces if we 
don't look out." We all got out and after

much shoving and pushing managed to get 
her into the straight current again which car- 
ried us at a good rate down past the town of 
Cardinal. 

It was useless trying to keep steerage way 
in that current so we lowered sail and trusted 
to luck to get through safely. As we neared 
Iroquois the current seemed a little less swift 
and we again hoisted sail in an endeavor to

"We can't make it, old man, see, we're going 
to miss it sure," and miss it we did by a good 
hundred feet and were soon swept into the 
rapids. With rapidly increasing speed we 
rushed on towards the broken water. 

The old "Water Wagon" took the breakers 
with a rush, the spray flew back the whole 
length of the boat, and, now rushing sideways, 
now bucking them stern first, we finally cleared 
the rapids and passed the little city of Morris- 



burg. "I guess that's enough rapids' shooting 
for us in this antiquated tub," said Sher. We 
all agreed, and, after shooting the light rapids 
at Farren's Point we entered the canal at 
Dickenson's Landing around the Long Sault 
Rapids. 

" 'Benj. Harrison of New York,' that looks 
good to me, lets strike them for a tow." The 
captain of the barge was a very clever fellow 
and allowed us to take a tow-line from the 
"Benjie." At 11:30 that night we entered the 
first lock behind our new found friend. We 
kept that tow through to Montreal, passing 
the prosperous city of Cornwall, through the 
new Soulanges Canal, Lake St. Louis and the 
Lachine Canal. "Benj. Harrison of New 
York" was certainly good to us and it seemed

What did we do first in that city? We ate,

had supplied; but now it was different, we 
were in civilization again and felt the need of

EVERY FRIDAY 



Dr. Crapsey and "The Neto Theology 



33 



JAMES LEWIS BREWER 



ROCHESTER'S experiment with the "new theology," so-called, 
under the leadership and direction of Algernon S. Crapsey, 
lately convicted of heresy by the Protestant Episcopal Church, is 
considered an event of vast significance by its supporters. Cer- 
tainly Dr. Crapsey's Brotherhood movement has started under aus- 
pices that indicate a vitality full of promise. Its adherents maintain 
that the leaven of it is plainly at work throughout the world, and 
that the momentum insuring its resistless oncoming has been at- 
tained. That the "new theology" has 
obtained a considerable foothold can- 
not be denied and more and more is 
it commanding the critical attention 
of the people. 

Of course the "new theology" im- 
plies a departure from the "old the- 
ology." As a matter of fact it sweeps 
away most of the chief dogmas of the 
Bible which are the life of the "old 
theology." It follows science in the 
"higher criticism" of the Scriptures, 
which does not accept them as in- 
spired, but as fallible human litera- 
ture. Such criticism declares the 
story of the fall of man untrue, denies 
that Christ was more than human in 
the sense that all men are human — 
although a great ethical teacher and 
prophet, denies the Atonement, 
Resurrection and Last Judgment, 
and, incidentally, the miracles. 

The fundamental point of diver- 
gence in the "restatement," as t he 
"new theology" is sometimes termed, 
is necessarily at the beginning in the 
denial of the fall of man. Naturally 
this does away with the necessity of 
the Atonement by Jesus, and hence 
Jesus is considered no more than a 
son of man. 

The Atonement by Christ being 
considered the central fact of Chris- 
tianity, it is natural that Rt. Rev. 
Arthur Foley Winnington-Ingram. 
bishop of London, who is making a 
notable visit to the United States at 
this time, a staunch champion of 
orthodoxy, should emphasize it in de- 
nouncing the "new theology." In a 
published interview he has asserted 
rather bitterly that "the future lies 
with no church which sinks to what 
is called the 'new theology.' " Ik- 
declared that "the eternal son of God 
came into the world and gave him- 
self for his brothers, that the Chris- 
tian religion does not consist in a 
belief in a good man named Jesus 
Christ dying on the cross, but con- 
sists in a belief in the sacrifice of God himself." 

For religion for practical purposes, what is brought out by the 
"new theology" is the ethical teachings of Christ, and, mainly and 
simply, the brotherhood of man. It does away with the "historic 
sacraments" and the elaborate formalisms of orthodoxy. While the 
"old theology" has tended to emphasize ceremonial and worship in 
religion, the "new theology" emphasizes moral and ethical effort. 



The "new theology" is startlingly revolutionary in its extreme 
enunciations. There is some differences among its advocates but 
they are not essentially important. The chief feature of it of easy 
grasp to the lay mind is that it banishes supcrnaturalism. In the 
extreme type it regards man as the source of all authority. Only 
as such, it maintains, can he be a free being, a moral being possessing 
the power of choice. If he owed his existence to God, were a 
creature of God, then God, and not he would be responsible for his 

actions. 

Perhaps the most lucid, popular 
recent exposition of the "new theol- 
ogy" has been given by Rev. Regi- 
nald J. Campbell, pastor of the City 
Temple of London. 

Dr. Campbell's Views 

Dr. Campbell is well-known in 
America having visited here in 1903. 
It is said that he will visit America 
again shortly and it is expected that 
he will be heard in Rochester under 
the auspices of the Brotherhood. A 
prominent Rochester journalist, who 
was in London this summer, writes 
as follows of Dr. Campbell's church 
and congregation : 

The City Temple is a great modern 
church, without the beauty of an old 
cathedral, or the purpose of one as 
sanctuary and shrine; but designed 
to seat a vast congregation in com- 
fort, bring its members within hear- 
ing distance of the preacher, and put 
them in close communion in song 
and prayer. It is the rule that seat- 
holders shall be in their places ten 
minutes before service begins, and at 
that time the doors are thrown open 
to strangers, who are usually waiting 
in a long line in the street. They 
are let in rapidly, made welcome, and 
seated wherever there are vacancies. 
On this occasion every seat was 
soon filled and chairs were set in 
the aisles. 

Dr. Campbell has been making a 
t"tir of his country addressing the 
provincial pastors at their request. 
I he bishop of London scouts his in- 
fluence, declaring that both the high 
and the low church in England are 
vicing in preaching orthodoxy. 

Dr. Campbell declares the starting 

point of the "new theology" to be the 

immanence of God and the essential 

ness of God and man. It differs 

from Unitarianism in that respect, 

ALGERNON S. CRAPSEY {or ^ ^^ puts a gu]f ^tween 

Rochester's Exponent of "The New Theology" God am , man Jhe „ new thco , ogy - 

makes no real distinction between humanity and the Deity. 

( lur being is the same as God's." says Dr. Campbell, "although 
our consciousness of it is limited. We see the revelation of God 
in everything around us. 

The "new theology" is startlingly revolutionary in its extreme 
in terms of its own highest; therefore it reverences Jesus Christ.

The Annual HilUCHmbing Contest 

Attention of Local Automobilists Centered on Annual Contest on the Dugway Hill — 

News and Notes of the Big Automobile Show 



TO-MORROW, if weather permits, motor 
cars of all descriptions will gather at the 
Penfield Dugway to witness the annual hill- 
climb of the Rochester Automobile Club which 
was postponed from last Saturday on account of 
the inclement weather. There are over twenty- 
five entries and as the cars in the different 
classes are well matched lots of good sport 
and excitement is expected. The method of 
classing the cars this year, by the listed price 
instead of horse-power is meeting with ap- 
proval. 



Visitors to the Eighth National Automobile 
Show under the auspices of The Association 
of Licensed Automobile Manufacturers, to be 
held at Madison Square Garden the week of 
November 2-9 will see something in a novelty 
in the music line for the occasion. This will 
be the introduction of telharmonic music to 
take the place of the brass bands used hereto- 
fore. This is the first time that telharmonic 
or electric music as it is sometimes called has 
been used in such a vast arena as the Madison 
Square Garden. In the basement of the Tel- 
harmonic hall there is an immense musical 
"power plant" in which the music is made and 
sent out just as electric current is sent to all 
parts of the city. The music will radiate from 
about a hundred different trumpets scattered 
over the Garden and concealed in draperies 



so it will be impossible to see where the music 
comes from. There will be a variety of music 
ranging from the popular street melodies to 
opera and the martial music of the big brass 
band. 

Members of the Rochester Automobile Club 
who intend visiting the big automobile show 
should get their 1907 membership cards if 
they wish to take advantage of the reduced 
railroad fare secured by the club which is a 
fare and a third for the round trip for the 
member and the immediate members of his 
family, as the rate cannot be secured if the 
card is not shown. 

This is the first time in the history of auto- 
mobile shows that the show has been held at 
so early date. It is at the ideal touring time 
so that prospective purchasers may enjoy a 
demonstration trip into the country. 

Yellow tags with black letters and figures 
have been adopted by Pennsylvania as the 
standard for 1908. This will bring them much 
different than other years. There have been 
20,000 licenses issued in that State so far this 
year. 

This year's automobile shows promise to sur- 
pass anything ever before attempted in that 
line. The unlicensed show at Grand Central 
Palace from Oct. 24 to 31 from all appearances 
will be a glowing success and the Licensed 
show at Madison Square Garden will be a 



dream of color schemes and surprises. At 
this show which is to be held from Nov. 2 te 
9 there are 285 exhibitors in all, 39 of whom 
exhibit pleasure vehicles and 13 commercial 
cars. The main floor, elevated platform and 
exhibition hall will be taken up with the pleas- 
ure cars, while in the basement will be found 
the commercial cars, and also about 70 ac- 
cessory exhibits. The rest of the accessories 
have been placed on the Mezzanine platform, 
the balcony, concert hall and the 2nd and 3rd 
tier boxes. The unlicensed show will make 
a record for itself by having nearly all the 
nights set apart for special classes of visitors. 

Rochester and Buffalo automobilists who are 
members of the local clubs will be pleased to 
hear that the Trunk Line Associations have 
reconsidered the request of the A. A. A. for 
reduced fares to the shows and any member 
in good standing is entitled to the reduced 
fare (one fare and a third for the round trip) 
which includes the immediate members of the 
family. The unlicensed show has also of- 
fered to admit free Oct. 31st all persons show- 
ing membership card in the A. A. A. Secre- 
tary Van Tuyle of the Rochester Automobile 
Club is also trying to get reduced hotel rates 
for the members of that club. This is an 
ideal time for the shows and there will prob- 
ably be about 800 Rochester Autoists in atten- 
dance. 



iVo Man's }/lan or a Puppet Man

ing pledges now but they cannot. He conducts his own campaign, 
he has no manager, he is no man's man ! 

In the face of contemptuous rebuff, braving ridicule, sometimes 
a member of the majority Councilmanic body he has opposed his 
fellows and flayed them sturdily, sometimes in a hopeless minority, 
he has raised his protest against discrimination, greed, political 
chicanery, corruption and municipal extravagance. For years the 
man has made his lonely, honest fight. The Boss, whether of his 
own party, or the opposing one, has been his anathema. Tearing 
aside the trickery of verbiage or the subtly-concealed effort to attack 
the people's money or to foist indecent or incompetent government 
upon the taxpayer he has hurled himself unswervingly at his mark. 
For years a servile press, controlled either by the Boss or the cor- 
porations which control the Boss, has ridiculed or ignored him. It 
has sought to keep from the people the knowledge that at least one 
man has never "dealt" — at least one alderman has been honest. 
William Ward's record is unimpeachable. Right or wrong he has 



been honest — he has never swerved, he has never even faltered. He 
is respectable — he is amiable — but, above all, he is POLITICALLY 
UNSHACKLED! Can Mr. Edgerton or his supporters say as 
much? Do they dare say it in the face of the records? 

Primarily, candidates for the greatest office in the gift of the 
city should show clean bills of health as to personal character. In 
that respect both Mr. Edgerton and Mr. Ward are similar. But, 
looking further, the people seek a new deal, a square deal, not for 
the corporations or the Boss. They will base their voting-opinion, 
not on the records of other men, but on the public records of the 
candidates themselves — they will vote not along sentimental lines, 
because a man "is kind to his help", but because a man's record 
proves he is not in sympathy with their political betrayal. The 
municipal campaign in Rochester is, indeed, "a business campaign". 
Its conclusion, by the verdict of the ballots, will be based on sensible, 
not sentimental premises. And the people are growing more sensible 
every day.

In the Swarthmore-Penn game last Satur- 
day the latter team was enabled to win en- 
tirely on poor punting and handling of punts 
by Swarthmore. Neither team could rush the 
brill far enough to score, although Swarth- 
more, by the aid of forward passes and line 
bucking, went over forty yards to within drop 
kicking distance, and scored by that means. 
Penn never got near enough to score, oxcept 
through the kicking game blunders of her op- 
ponents. Penn worked a beautiful on-side 
kick, however, which gave her a deserved 
touchdown, although O'Brien should have ex- 
pected the play, and been "Johnny on the 
spot." 

Coach Crane is panning out pure gold as 
the chief of the Crimson football forces. As 
was pointed out in this column a week ago, 
Crane was very wise in the selection of his 
assistant coaches. Cutts, the line coach, has 
made master strokes in his shifting of men 
in the line. He has moved Burr, the all- 
American guard, out to tackle, and changed 
the giant Parker from enter to guard in 
Burr's place. Then he has put a faster man 
in at center who will undoubtedly be called 
upon to back up the line. Crane has gone 
silently to work, and he and his cabinet are 
working out Harvard football on up to date 
lines. 

As usual, out of the West conies a report 
like this : "Michigan runs up a big score." 
Coach Yost has been fond of big figures for 
some years, and maybe big scores appeal to 
the fiery Western imagination. We, in the 
East, however, like smaller scores, for several 
reasons. First, we do not want the team over- 



confident, and secondly, when we find the 
game easy, we immediately try out new men, 
new plays, and weak points. The Indians and 
Princeton seem fonder of big scores than any 
others in the East. I have just been looking 
at the individual photos of the players on the 
Michigan team, and they size up most formid- 
ably. Yost is practicing them on the high 
1906 Yale forward pass. 

The Tigers are plugging away and improv- 
ing at the same rapid pace they did last year. 
Costello, the Bucknell coach, who has been 
up against both Princeton and Cornell, says 
that the latter will win in the game to be 
played on next Saturday. 

Weslcyan has played both Yale and Prime- 
ton, and "Boscy" Riter, her coach, says that, 
at the present writing, it is a toss up between 
the Tigers and the Elis. 



Local Football 

(Continued ft ,>m pag< /•>) 

The High Schools dealt a body blow to 
Buffalo's football pride las) Saturday, and, 
incidentally, showed signs of encouraging 
development. Although West High lacked 
but a single point of equalling last season's 
score against Masten Park, the game was by 
no means as easy a proposition and called 
upon Langslow's men to show some of the 
open work and tricky formations which their 
supporters have been eagerly awaiting. 

It remained for East High to give what was 
probably the most clever exhibition of the now 
game seen on a local gridiron in trouncing 
Central High. From the score, 33 to i 1 
could hardly believe that the teams wen 
about evenly matched in straight football, but 
such was the case. 

The forward pass was more in evidence, and 
double passes netted gains.

The GraVe of Daniel O. Shays 



{i ontinued front page /,) 



Impatient For Reform 

Great excitement prevailed and reforms 
were promised but were not granted soon 
enough to satisfy those burdened with taxes 
and a month later Shays led a force to Spring- 
field again, but was dispersed with the loss 
of three men. The authorities were now thor- 
oughly aroused and the state militia was 01 
dered oul against the leader of the rebellious 
forces. IN- w.-is compelled to fiVe to New 
Hampshire and later to Vermont to escape 
,i death sentence, but later, when the country 
became more settled and the affairs of the 
governmenl had finally taken form, the mem- 
ory of his bravery at Bunker Mill was urged 
:is a cause for pardon, and it was admitted 
that his grievances had been heavy, so Uncle 
Sam pardoned him. 

Shays was nol an adventurer or freebooter 
as has been said, but rather a quiet retiring 
man. At the time of his pardon one of his 
friends, Jonathan Weston, who had been to 
Western New York told him tales of the 
wonderful fertile western country, and he 
iiinvi-il to Cayuga county with Mr. Weston, 
who taught several terms of school in that 
county, Captain Shays moved farther west 
and finally B< ttled in Livingston county in the 
town of Sparta when- he lived a quiet and 
uneventful life. At that time there was in 
Livingston county a young boy, fourteen years 
old who afterward became president of the 
United States, Millard Fillmore. He worked 
in the town of West Sparta, and one day had 
occasion to go with his employer to Sparta 
and they Baw Captain Shays. Fillmore in writ- 
ing about the meeting afterwards said, "I was 
not much impressed with him, and was dis- 
appointed with his personal appearance. He 
was by no means commanding in appearance 
and his dress was quite ordinary. I wondered 
how the talkative old gentleman had ever been 
so prominent." 

Shays squatted on a lot in Sparta and mar- 
ried a widow named Havens, He lived in 

Sparta for several years, was granted a pen- 
sion by the government for his services in 
the Revolution and finally died in 1825 at the 
age of eighty-four years. 

After his death his grave was unmarked by 
any stone and its location was forgotten by 
all but a very few. Had it not been for the en- 
during devotion of one of these friends, Samuel 
Craig, or "Nonny" Craig, as he was called, 
the grave would never have been marked, 
"Nonny" Craig late in life became a county 
charge, but one day he asked permission to 
go io the cemetery where Shays was buried 
and mark his grave. It was granted, and the 
old man seemed an uncouth piece of slate 

I and placed it as a marker for the grave 

of his friend. The grave and its marker re- 
mained uncared for for years and years and 
finally the stone toppled over. A few years 

ago when some members of the Livingston 
County Historical Society went to the ceme- 
tery to locate the grave the stone was not 



found until after a most diligent search had 
been made. It is shown in the accompanying 
picture. The rude inscription on it shows 
that lettering was not in the province of 
"Nonny" Craig. 

But time is gradually bringing about a 
change in the estimation in which Shays is 
held, and in all likelihood there will be a 
more suitable monument at his grave-. The 
Livingston County Historical Society has been 
corresponding with the Massachusetts Histor- 
ical Society on the matter for a numbei of 
years and once it seemed as though action 
would be taken jointly by the two organiza- 
tions, but Senator Hoar of Massachusetts was 
opposed, and his arguments served to delay 
the matter. Lately it has been renewed, and 
perhaps before long Union Cemetery, the 
small inconspicuous and unpretentious grave 
yard near the head of Concsus lake, will be 
graced by a monument erected by the admirers 
of the late captain, who, while remembering 
his faults, are willing to forgive them and to 
remember that Captain Daniel O. Shays, as 
well as being a rebel was also a patriot, that 
his grievances were real ones, and that he had 
served his country when his services were 
sorely needed and had fought, bled and shown 
himself willing to die for the struggling col- 
onies. 

The Hyphen 

The lesson had been clear enough, — 

The teacher had explained 
The uses of the hyphen, till 

She thought each child was trained 

To understand its meaning; so, 

When principal came in, 
She stepped up smiling, to the board, 

And said: "Now, we'll begin 

"Our lesson on 'The Hyphen'; first 
We have this word 'bird-nest.' 

Now, who knows what the hyphen's for? 
And who can tell it, best?" 

A bright new pupil raised her hand — 

A chubby little one ! 
And said: "The hyphen's put there for 

'I he bird to roost upon."

Along The Genesee 

The shifting drama of to-day 
Is full of life, blithesome and gay, 

Along the river shore, 
Where scenes of tragedy and strife, 
Where acts of blood and savage life, 

Were staged in days of yore. 

\ i ii 1 oft m dreams loo strange to last, 
I he curtains of the silent past 

Swing wide and show to me, 
The vanished face of copper hue, 
The swiftly gliding birch canoe, 

Along the Genesee.

Literature 

OF many books it has been said that they 
do not contain a dull page. Of no book 
of recent production, perhaps, can this more 
truly be said than of "Satan Sanderson," "the 
book of a thousand thrills," which Hallie Er- 
minie Rives has prepared, through her pub- 
lishers, the Bobbs-Merrill Company, Indian- 
apolis, for fall reading. In word painting and 
simile, and in sudden transition, especially 
and in general, this book has all the charac- 
teristics pertaining to a Rives romance. From 
the hoodwinked bride to the pastor playing 
cards for money with a scapegrace son before 
the altar of the former's church, the book 
teems with "situations." We may expect soon 
to sec a dramatization. 

At the head of their fall list, Little, Brown 
& Co. have placed "John Harvard and His 
Times," by Henry C. Shelley, whose "Liter- 
ary By- Paths in Old England" was one of the 
substantial holiday books of a year ago. Every 
Harvard alumnus ought to be interested in 
this, the first book published on the founder 
of Harvard University. Lilian Whiting in 
her new book, "Italy, the Magic Land," aims 
to present a living panorama of the compar- 
atively modern past of Rome. Both of these 
books will be profusely illustrated. 

The Macmillan Company are soon to issue 
the acting edition of Percy MacKaye's tragedy, 
"Sappho and Phaon." The frontispiece will 
be a portrait, in the character of Sappho, of 
Madame Bertha Kalich, the star of Harrison 
Grey Fiske's production of the play. 

The recent awakening of American teachers 
and parents to the general prevalence of 
physical defects and backwardness among 
school children will insure a hearty welcome 
for the handbook announced by The Macmil- 
lan Company, "School Efficiency and School 
Reports." This book tells how 100 cities de- 
scribe the work of their public schools; gives 
lists of questions answered frequently, 
answered occasionally, or never answered; and 
in a practical way shows the parent, the tax- 
payer, the trustee and the editor how to co- 
operate intelligently with the public schools. 

One of the most striking short stories pub- 
lished in recent years in America was Jack 
London's "Love of Life" — an unemotional 
narrative of the experience of a man lost in 
the Northwestern wilderness, and barely es- 
caping starvation. The story attracted con- 
siderable attention at the time of its first pub- 
lication in a magazine, both as a remarkable 
example of London's ability in the handling 
of a difficult subject, and beciuse the narrative 
was said to be based on an actual occurrence. 
This is the story that stands first in the new 
collection of London's stort stories and gives 
its title to the volume. There are seven others 
in the book, and some of them are no less 
striking than "Love of Life." Altogether the 
book is certainly one of the most remarkable 
collections of short stories issued in recent 
years.

Allied With Science 

Dr. Campbell declares that the new th. so 
watches with sympathy the development of 
modern science, believing itself to be in bar 
niotiy with it — being the religious articulation 
of the scientific method, he puts it. Believing 
that the seat of religious authority is within the 
,oul, and not in an external God, individual 
man, he says, is so constituted as to be able 
cognize, ray by ray, the truth that helps 
him upward, no matter from what source it 
comes. 

That the soul is immortal is affirmed by the 
"new theology," and that it passes through 
many stages in upward progress through the 
mis. rii world before it becomes fully and con 
sciously one with its infinite source. "We 
make our destiny in the next world by our 
behavior in this, and ultimately every soul 
will be perfected," says Dr. Campbell. 

The "new theology" docs not believe in a 
final judgment but in a judgment that is ever 
proceeding. Every sin involves' suffering 
which cannot be remitted by any work of an- 
other. When a deed is done, its consequences 
are eternal. 

"We believe that Jesus is and was divine," 
says Dr. Campbell, "but so are we. His mis- 
sion was to make us realize our divinity and 
our oneness with God and we arc called to 
live the life that He lived."

NOTES & FALL FASHIONS 

By Courtesy of Duffy-Mclnnerney Company 





AMERICAN women wear the best look- 
ing shoes in the world, and the product 
of the American maker is recognized the world 
over as the standard of style, quality and 
comfort. 

In every European city, American shoe 
stores and American styles predominate — and 
Rochester-made shoes are to be found in the 
most of them. 

Because we lead in shoe making, we very 
naturally lead in shoe fashions. Paris has 
little if any influence, on the styles. Color 
suggestions sometimes come from that center, 
but the Paris shoe is notoriously ill-shapen 
and ugly. 

What Paris has given to 
America that is of merit, is 
the golden brown coloring. 
No novelty has ever grown 
so extensively in popularity 
— and it had its origin in 
Paris. 

Paris has something to say regarding the 
trimming and the ornamentation on evening 
slippers. Beautifully hand-embroidered, rib- 
bon and lace appliqued, beaded and spangled 
slipper patterns, in kid and satin, are imported 
from France, to be made up over American 
lasts. But here their influence stops. 

Women's shoes have never been so dressy 
as for this" Fall and Winter, on account of the 
high cut styles with fancy tops. This is bring- 
ing into prominence many extieme effects in 
cloth and leather combinations. In fact, shoes 
to match the gown — exactly in color — seem to 
be the order of the day. 

Another extravagant fancy for the winter 
season is the use of the white kid boot, 
embroidered, beaded and spangled, in steel, 
cut jet, silver and gold. 

The golden brown shoes which are to be so 
popular, are being shown with cloth, velvet 
and collored kid tops. But these colored tops 
are applied just as generously to shoes of 
black patent leather and black kid, as they are 
to the brown. 

The prevailing last shows a fairly pointed 
toe, dropping gradually to a point from a box 
of medium height. The last has a medium 
swing, so that the foot has plenty of room for 
comfort. The edges are close trimmed, giving 
an extremely neat appearance, even though 
the soles are somewhat thicker than they 
have previously been. 

With most types of shoes the high Cuban heel 
is the favorite, but in ooze calf or colored kid, 
the heel is more often covered to match. 
Some of the extreme models run from twelve 
to fifteen buttons in height with a waved or 
scalloped top that is higher in front than in 
the back. 

In dress shoes and slippers, the prevailing 



heel is still the Louis XV. It is not exagger- 
ated however. Large and elaborate buckles 
are a feature. 

Dark. Colors for Winter 

Much will probably be seen of black in the 
near future. Of late years, the vogue of this 




COSTUME OF BLACK CHIFFON

and Japanese sleeve. Courtesy of Duffy-Mclnnerney Co. 

color has somewhat diminished, but a great 
many exquisite costumes will be seen in black 
at both the Horse Show and the Opera. 

Quite all of the Fall and Winter colorings 
are rich and full, but a trifle dark. These of 
course are utilized more particularly for street 
costumes. For evening costumes, the sheer 
fabrics, when not of white, are of the lightest 
tints. Dove, mouse and copper gray (a new 
shade) are very popular, while a somewhat 
darker tint known as "taupe" (mole) is a 
great and legitimate favorite. 



Long SleeVes for Waists 

What we may almost surely count upon is 
the return of long sleeves — not exclusively — 
but for various types of street wear. 

Many of the new tailored models show the 
full length sleeye of coat order. In many 
cases, walking and even visiting dresses, when 
the waist is of the same material as the skirt, 
the sleeves are quite long. The upper part is 
full to just above the elbow, the remainder 
down to the wrist fitting so tightly to the arm 
as to perfectly mould it, and extending in a 
long, narrow point half way up the back of 
the hand. 

Waists of separate order do not often have 
the long sleeve; for them, there is either the 
more or less short balloon, the elbow-length 
bell, or some sort ot Japanese arrangement 
which is really equivalent to no sleeve at all, 
and generally requires the addition of a rather 
deep fall of lace. 

On the other hand, few fall garments of 
anything approaching a dressy type show the 
long sleeve, and here all sorts of Japanese 
contrivances come in full force. Some of the 
new models are very pretty and elegant. 
There is a wide, shapeless piece extending 
from the shoulder almost to the elbow, while 
underneath the arm the so-called sleeve tou- 
ches the garment, and descends far lower, the 
slanting line beginning from the elbow. 

It is on this lower part in the entire width 
of the band that the trimming, in the shape of 
embroidery or appliqued motifs, is placed, the 
garment in its entire length remaining open 
to the width of four or five inches, being 
merely attached across the center of the bosom 
by a broad embroidered band. 

Some of the new models in lingerie waists 
are in all-over lace and embroidery, made up 
in insertion patterns, an embroidered stripe 
alternating with one of Valenciennes lace, 
which is hemstitched into the fabric. Some 
are shown with full length sleeves. 

Very wide double frills with lace edges 
linish these waists. Some of these frills lap 
to one side, while others are arranged in the 
frilled bosom style. 

The newest model coming from Paris is 
finished with a wide pleated frill surrounding 
the collarband, leaving the throat exposed. 
The front of the shirt has the Marie Antoin- 
ette frill, and a small bow of bright colored 
velvet ribbon is worn where the neck and 
bosom frill meet.. 

Lining the Winter Skirts 
It has become greatly the fashion to line 
the skirts of transparent fabrics, whatever 
may be the color, with white mousseline de 
soie; this without prejudice to a loose under 
robe of white glace taffeta, on which the two 
sheer fabrics rest.

HEADQUARTERS IN ROCHESTER FOR 

Norman Stoves and Ranges 

AND HOWE VENTILATORS 

The satisfaction in having a range to cook with that does away with all the customary 
worries and pettv annoyances of most ranges — that was what we set out to find for you — 
and again does " Rochester Made " come to the fore with something most decidedly 
superior. 



"NORMAN" STOVES AND RANGES 
have back of them the reputation of fifty-five years of 
manufacturing and service in Rochester. A strictly local 
product— that started with the early growth of the city— 
and one which has continued to improve in merit and 
completeness with the years. 

" Norman " Ranges have everything to commend 
them— are made strictly on honor — and really need no 
introduction to Rochesterians, though their demonstration 
here will have interest to those who may not know their 
worth. 

Neither do they " eat 
themselves" with fuel — sur- 
prising how far a scuttle of 
coal really does go with one 
of them. And such bakers 
—everything done brown- 
top, sides, bottom. 

Easy to Care 





for and Easy to Clean 



THE "HOWE VENTILATOR" 

parlor heater is out of the same factory. It is not only the handsomest 
of all heating stoves, but the most economical in the use of fuel ; the 
easiest to keep clean and to take care of. In fact, fill it with coal and ir 
practically cares for itself. 

The temperature from it is invariably the same. From it comes a 
continuous supply of fresh air— and out through it goes all the foul air 
that may gather in the home. 

We show a complete line of the " Norman " Stoves and Ranges, 
to which are attached the lowest prices.

Evolution of Donaldson Vickers 

( Continued from page 6\ 

tional, so the mere fashionable mourning 
period did not enter into her calculations at 
all. Her lover was content to take his bride, 
even in a mourning gown — in which her bril- 
liant beauty was most bewitching. 

The appointed hour dropped quickly from 
the wheel of time. Only a few friends were 
present. 

It had just occurred to Sara that she had 
not seen the new rector, or even heard his 
name. Only a few days had he been among 
them, and now he was reading, in a clear, 
well-modulated voice, the marriage service. 
Sara did not look up, but she heard his voice 
as one hears distant music coming nearer, and 
gathering in clearness, until the melody is 
distinct, and each note is interlinked with 
vibrant associations. 

"If any of you know aught why this man 
and this woman may not be lawfully joined 
together in holy" — 

Sara raised her head, as though lifting it 
above waters that would close over her, and 
looked into his eyes. 

His hand trembled, — "wedlock," he con- 
tinued confusedly. "Wedlock," he again 
stammered, and the book dropped from his 
hand. Almost at the same instant Sara's 
swaying form was caught by her astonished 
and, almost, groom-lover. 

People said it was nervous prostration, or 
grief for her father, or shock from the death 
of the old rector; whatever the cause, the mar- 
riage was postponed indefinitely. 

Ten days later a note addressed to "The 
Rev. Donaldson Vickers, Rector of St. James's 
Church," was handed the new rector in his 
study. It ran thus : 

"Please call at 'Penmore,' this evening at 
eight o'clock. 

Sara Durand." 

Emotionless, and pale as the dead, the new 
rector sat before his study fire. Not a sigh 
escaped him. He was a piteous example of 
tension, hopeless in its strain. 

Only once in the two hours had he moved, 
and then his eyes sought the little clock whose 
ticking seemed to have been muffled out of 
respect for the dread and silent hours it was 
marking off. It was now ten minutes of 
eight ; it would require about that much time 
to reach the house. It may be that the Rev. Mr. 
Vickers cast a longing look at the inviting 
warmth and soulful composure of his study, 
but he betrayed no feeling of reluctance, and 
departed in the same manner as he would as- 
sume were he going to a marriage, a funeral, 
to preach a sermon, or as a lamb led to the 
slaughter. 

Sara, in dress of close-fitting black, its long, 
severe lines displaying the exquisite contour of 
her figure, rose to meet him. She looked a 
very queen in dignity and stateliness. 

"I wrote you to come," she said without 
preliminary, "that I might ask you a few 
questions — I trust I have«that right, as a 
member of your church here ?" 

There was a pulsing pause, during which 
she strove to look through the outer man into

assent. Then motioning him to a seat, she 
drew a chair directly in front, and, clasping, 
her hands as if for strength, began with 
strained clearness :

"I supposed that you were in England. I 
never dreamed that we would meet again." 

Still not a word from the tightened lips 
before hers. 

"I can understand — now — that your mother 
had the right to take you away, as you were 
under age." 

Not a feature of the face relaxed, not a line 
of response. 

"I wanted to tell her that I should be no 
obstacle in her or your ambition. But I was 
ill a long while, in the 'Sisters' Hospital.' 
When I was better, you had both gone to 
England. When I asked about the child, they 
knew nothing, only that your mother had 
'made provision' for him." 

Sara dug her hands into each other, and 
looked imploringly at the cold, non-committal 
man, who had not once raised his eyes to 
her face. Her temples were throbbing, and 
there was a strange sensation about her heart-

O'er Death's Perennial SnoWs 



ROBERT W. NEAL 



IT was over. The last word was spoken— 
* tlie last breath drawn tears were past 
— the pitifully little group of carriages had 
ended their hurried return from the graveyard 
in the suburb. Nothing remained to plan or 
to do — except to sleep. 

He sat in his studio, alone, thinking. 
Through his mind was running a phrase, re- 
membered he knew not from what idle read- 
ing, — "O'er death's perennial snows;" and he 
thought, with a frigid pleasure in the figure, 
that her way henceforth was across the cold 
fields of death, and he need no more follow 
her ; he was free— now. 

For ten years she had been part of his life, — 
or he part of hers, — but the ten years had 
been torn away as a rough hand might strip 
out a chapter in a book. The years were lost, 
but at last he was without a claim to hamper 
him, for the grandparents had taken his boy 
already. Tomorrow he could go where he 
wished, do what he willed, be what he chose. 
The future could lay no constraining hand 
upon him now, for the last hostage was sur- 
rendered. The word "duty" ceased to stir a 
bitterness in his soul, and even now he 
mouthed it inwardly — for it had become again 
only a name for his thoughts to play with. 

Miriam had passed out of his world, — o'er 
death's perennial snows, — and he felt things 
adjusting themselves as they ought to be, un- 
disturbed by the sense of that alien point of 
view. There would never any more, when he 
flung down his money for his box of Philip 
Morrises, be a stirring of reproach within be- 
cause he knew his self-denial did not equal 
hers ; his inexpensive dinners at the Cafe 
Martin would no longer leave a bitter taste 
because he knew his wife was kept at home 
by her desire to save money for more needful 
things. Fancy, imagination, genius, would not 
be chilled by any realization that his nearest 
one saw art so very, very far away, and his 
responsibilities in the affairs of their house- 
hold and daily life so very close at hand. 
Never again would he have to see that she 
deceived herself into believing self-made ex- 
cuses for him, or know the dull pain of help- 
less revolt because she gave her soul to the 
petty things of kitchen and sewing-room, 
and left him to follow, without her company 
and (he thought) without her sympathy, the 
high ways of his art. Now he was free ; now 
at last he would live life. He would do some- 
thing, now. 

And yet 

He swung round to the window, gazing out 
through the heavy dusk over the sharp descent 
of the city where it spread grayly eastward, 
sprinkled at this hour with many hundred 
flashing lights. The new moon stood above 
the river, and a star clung close to the sharp 
crescent Of a sudden there flashed into his 
recollection a fancy of Miriam's, standing 
beside him one evening of their honeymoon: 
"See that little star perched on the arm of 
the moon's big chair !".... 



The dooi oj id; with a strange feeling of 

resentment, as for intrusion, lie heard In, 

1. mill, i ' , stl p, 

"You should try to sleep, Bob." 
I'' e and bye, Henry" — 

"You've had no sleep for two days and 
nights, old fellow, and before that" — 

"Yes, 1 know. I'll sleep — afterwhile." 

Henry's big hand came down affectionately 
nil his shoulder. 

"My God, Bob,"— 

His voice broke. 

"There, Hen, don't take it so hard. Do you 
know, Hen, sitting here, I was thinking 
maybe it's for the best. Miriam's life wasn't 
very full, you know; she didn't care much for 
a good many things that make it worth while 
to live. She didn't even take much time to 
read, and she didn't go out much — she kept to 
her music a little. It's not so hard for one 
whose life isn't full . . . and you know she 
scarcely kept her ideals alive" .... 

"Do you think I'm grieving for her, you — 
you fool," exploded Henry. "If there's any 
reward or any happiness in the other world — 
she's earned it, and her life with you, Bob, 
hasn't been so happy that many of us who 
loved her would want her back — for her sake. 
Tonight, of all nights! How have you the 
Face, the heart, to say what you have said — 
you, who have done nothing, while she gave 
her life to you. Don't you see, Bob, — haven't 
you ever seen? It is the spirit, the ideal, that 
has forever gone out of your life with her? 
Miriam" — 

His voice broke again and he went out 
quickly. 

Robert sprang up. 

"Hen," he cried, "Hen! Come back — tell 
me — for Christ's sake, is that what you 
think? 

But he had known long ago what they 
thought. 

His brother's steps died away down the 
hall. From a little flat across the street im- 
pinged and impressed itself upon his con- 
sciousness the chorus, — 

"Love, I will love you ever, 
Love, I will leave you never. 

Ever to me, 

Precious to be, 

Never to part, 

Heart bound to heart. 
Love, I will love you ever, 
Love, I will leave you never. 
Faithful and true ever am 1. 
Never to say good-bye." 

It was like a cynic mockery, for of old he 
had sung it to his wife, and of all his songs, 
she loved it best. More than once, in the 
seething mixture of familiar things that had 
floated like foam on her mind during delirium, 
had been this; and she had sung it caressingly, 
as if she lingered fondly upon a memory: 

"Love, I will love you ever."

Now he saw that for years she had had only 
the memory of a love to live with. 

-Love, I—" 

He had not loved her ever — but he loved 
her, loved her — now — with a fierceness and 
heighth and depth that his early days had 
never known. He knew it now, suddenly and 
forever. 

"Only the memory of a love," he muttered — 
and then there flared up in his mind the fact 
that thenceforward he must live with only the 
memory of a love. She was separated from 
him by death's perennial snows. The sudden 
sense of physical desolation swept him from 
his feet, he flung himself down in front of 
his chair, and cried aloud. 

Never to hear her any more — never to talk 
to her of his dreamings, as twilight fell and 
the lights flashed out — never any more to feel 
her hand on his hair — never any more any of 
the thousand things that had been the hourly 
gifts of an unspeakable and unvalued devo- 
tion — never to find her again, any more, any- 
where — gone from him o'er the snows of 
death, and he left behind, never able to follow 
after or overtake — 

In the midst of his wild tears, however, he 
thought of her own endurance. The world 
that she had dreamed of when they were 
married, scintillating like a bubble, had broken 
into nothingness, but she had not mourned. 
Hopes small and great had died in her — but 
her resolution had never died. She had borne, 
and much had been given her to bear, yet to 
the end her love and her calm bravery had 
carried her. As she had endured, so would 
he. 

The thought of her and her brave gentleness 
was like a sweet touch of comfort. There was a 
new gleam across his sky of understanding, a 
new sense of companionship. He was no 
more alone, he had her spirit with him. His 
own ideals and the past they had made for 
him, leering, ugly, deformed, shrunk away, and 
instead he saw his future made by her spirit, 
and clasped as his the ideal of her life. He 
knew that he should never lose it; it would 
be with him henceforth until, over death's 
perennial snows, he made his way to her; and 
calm and strong, he rose. 

In the darkened flat across the street, some- 
one struck the chords again — faintly and 
sweetly, like a promise and a consecration: 
Love, I will love you ever.

Mission of the Evening School 

'rttltUf,/ /mm ptl£f 5) 

may penetrate to that degree where hi 
comi .in actual Factor in all that contributes 
i" tin- ideal home. The patient, untiring grind 
of the evening school, lowly enlightening, fit- 
ting, adapting the untutored and the foreigner 
is like Kipling's "Sergeant- What's-I lis-N'.mir," 
in his process of assimilation in old Egypt, 
where, with untiring zeal he 

" Drilled a black man while 
And made a mummy fight." 

Unlike the youth portrayed in Whitticr's 
"School-Days," who went "creeping slow to 
school and storming out to play" — the even- 
ing pupil comes eagerly to learn. This brings 
us face to face with the agreeable realization 
of his extreme teachableness. He is receptive, 
he is there to learn, he has already learned 
the worth of time and the dollar. lie will 
improve each scanty moment. 

1 lere we have the grave little man, who 
works in the factory ten hours a day, that he 
may bring home a few dollars at the end of 
the week; here we have the young girl, who 
stands at her task all day, and yet has the 
desire to spend her evenings in self-improve- 
ment. Here, also, is the young man or woman, 
striving for a college education. 

On account of its location, Number 26, as it 
is known in Rochester, has the largest attend- 
ance and the greater per cent, of foreigners. 
Principal Moulthrop registered in this school 
alone about seventeen hundred last year. One 
teacher to about fifteen pupils is the desirable 
relegation, where only foreigners are con- 
cerned and the English language has to be 
learned. Of course the personality of the 
teacher is a great factor — for say what you 
will it is personality that counts, and educa- 
tion is at once attractive and desirable when 
embodied in a person. The different teachers, 
chosen for experience and ability, begin with 
those ignorant of our language by using cer- 
tain objects as the simplest form of imparting 
knowledge. An article is held up and named. 
its name is then written on the board, and 
so on. The one who can write the word on 
the board for the teacher is indeed proud. 
Thus a man, or woman, recently arrived from 
some old country soon acquires a moderate 
vocabulary, and is able to engage in those 
branches of household economics that are 
necessary in the making and the keeping of 
a home. 

Other arts are quickly absorbed to the extent 
of six thousand eager pupils a year. There 
is practically no limit to the horizon of the 
much-inclined. Chemistry is there for the ask- 
ing, higher mathematics can be had for the 
mere application, dead languages become alive. 

If there be any truth in the great hue and 
cry that we are being engulfed by the wave of 
incoming nationalities, that the country is 
surely "going to the dogs." in the evening- 
school is found the remedy. It is here that 
antipathy to our customs is overcome ; it is 
here that confidence in the government and 
its institutions is awakened — and here it is 
that the antipodal characters that have swelled 
Ellis Island find an avenue of approach to 
the broader, American plane of living.

EVERY FRIDAY 



Last Cruise of the Water Wagon 



"Keb Sir," "Keb Sir." We yielded to the 
temptation and took the drive around the city. 

After a good night's rest, we set sail the 
next afternoon on the way for Quebec, a dis- 
tance of one hundred eighty miles 

We pitched camp the next night a few miles 
below the city of Sorel. Is there anything 
that appeals to one when camping like bacon, 
eggs, fried potatoes and coffee? If there is 
we have failed to find it. After just such a 
meal we built a big campfire in front of the 
tent and stretched full length on the beach 
for a good smoke. With a full moon shining 
over the river, a good campfire and pipes lit, 
we thought it was an opportune moment for 
a little "burst of melody." We had reached 
the chorus of "Waiting" when a dozen or so . 
French people, who apparently thought it was 
for them we were waiting, came down to the 
beach and stood around grinning at us as we 
sang. It was late before we could bear to 
leave the genial glow of the campfire to "seek 
our Ostermoors" but soon we were sleeping 
soundly with the old "Wagon" riding peace- 
fully at anchor a few rods from shore. 

Friday proved to be an eventful day, for it 
was then that we had our first experience with 
the tide. The city of Three Rivers we visited 
and were unable to buy anything but postage 
stamps as "oui, oui" did not seem to be just 



{Continued from page 16) 

the word for canned soup, bread or rice. Our 
charts showed a rise in tide of three and a 
half feet at the point where we camped that 
night. We landed about seven when the tide 
was in, and, anchoring the "Wagon" some dis- 
tance out, swam ashore. About midnight we 
were awakened by a stray dog roaming about 
the camp, and, in chasing him away, discov- 
ered the "Wagon" high and dry on the beach 
with the shore line a good sixty feet beyond. 
After that experience we had great respect for 
the author of that little line, "Time and tide 
wait for no man." 

We set' sail at eight the next morning with 
the ebb tide and made Platon Point about two 
o'clock, at which time, we pitched camp for the 
night. That last camp was a beauty. We 
were located in a little wood high up the 
shore with a commanding view over the old 
St. Lawrence for miles either way. The 
"Water Wagon" with very long bow and 
stern lines was tied to the dock. 

That night, gathered around the campfire, 
we saw a. large buck with his big antlers shin- 
ing in the clear light of the moon, swimming 
quietly down-stream not a hundred feet from 
shore. We were now but forty miles from 
Quebec, and with a high wind in our favor, 
weighed anchor Sunday morning and started 
on our last day's sail. "Quebec ahead boys, 



there's that big bridge." Past the little town 
of Rouge, under the big cantilever bridge, 
which a few days later collapsed, past New 
Liverpool, we sailed and at two o'clock were 
tied up at the R. and O. dock in Quebec. 

The last two days of the trip had seen one 
of us pumping out water most of the time. 
The old boat was badly strained and when 
Quebec was reached we decided it would be 
useless to attempt to bring her back. It was 
a sad sight, the dismantling of the "Wagon." 
The old boat had been our home for eight 
days and we dreaded to think of losing her, 
but it had to be done. Two days we spent 
in that quaint old city and Tuesday we left 
for up the river with the movable parts of the 
"Wagon" stowed away in our duffle bags. 

It had been a glorious trip, over a week of 
sailing and camping and we enjoyed it to the 
utmost. The crew wishing to remember the 
trip in verse, composed the following lines 
and dedicated them to the "Water Wagon." 
Can't bring the Wagon home, Pa, 

It is not safe to sail. 
For all the fun is gone, Pa, 

'Tis nothing now but bail. 
We sailed the rapids in it, Pa, 
There was nothing else to do. 
So we left it at the dock, Pa, 
A sad and solemn crew.

"My Lady Cinderella" 



rilAPTER I. 

THE DAY WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS. 

TO-DAY I had meant to be a happy day. 
I '.in after all, I was miserable. I would 
haw given a great deal to be almost anywhere 
else — yes. even at home in Cousin Sarah East's 
villa in Peckham. 

I have never thought of myself as a vain 
girl : but I suppose it was a morbid sort of 
vanity that induced so keen a pang of shamed 
distress on this glorious June day in the park. 

\iiik- Bryden, who had brought me, and 
proudly paid for the chairs to which we had 
found our way through the crowd, looked 
serenely blissful. She was not one whit de- 
pressed by the fact that she and I were the only 
ugly ducklings in this dazzling array of swans. 
Forgotten was her rusty black frock, with the 
■ cheap, pathetic jet trimming on the bodice; 
her last year's hat, with its faded pink roses, 
had practically ceased to exist. 

It did not even occur to her that it might 
be well to give her shabby boots the protec- 
tion of her skirt. This lack of self-conscious- 
ness struck me as scarcely short of greatness 
in Anne. It was almost above the level of the 
feminine, and far, above the level of the Me. 

It was not often that I could get a holiday 
from Cousin Sarah's babies, to whom I had 
the honor of being nursery governess — alias 
ntirsmaid — with a mingling of "general serv- 
ant's" duties. There were no regular "days 
out" for me, but Cousin Sarah considered 
Anne a "most respectable young woman." 
(Anne had with unwonted diplomacy praised 
the house, admired the babies, and deferred 
to Cousin Sarah's opinion during the one visit 
I had received from her at Ilappiholme Villa.) 
Accordingly this whole long June afternoon in 
her society had been granted. 

I ought to have been radiant, reveling in the 
pretty faces, the prettier dresses, and the 
glittering equipeges of my betters, hut instead 
I sat wishing that I were not ashamed to ask 
Anne if she were ready to go away; conceal- 
ing the mended ringer tips of my gloves by 
curling my hands into fists, and feeling utterly 
wretched that I, who adored beauty, must be 
so hopelessly out of the picture 



MRS. C. N. WILLIAMSON 
Copyrighted— McClure-Phillips & Co. 

Carriage after carriage rolled by; well- 
groomed, clean-limbed men lounged over the 
railings, and raised their tall, shining hats to 
the occupants, or chatted with exquisitely 
dressed girls, who looked like floating flowers 
under their tinted chiffon and lace parasols. 
The rhododendrons were a flame of glorious 
color; the distance was blue with the soft mist 
that hung, ineffable and pensive, above the 
Serpentine, and the far, billowy reaches of 
sweet-smelling, new-cut grass in the park. 

"It's a nice world, isn't it?" remarked Anne, 
apropos of everything — everything but our- 
selves. 

"Yes. And there are lots of nice times in 
it. Only we're not in any of them." 

Annie looked critically at me. 

"You ought to be, Con," she observed, after 
an interval of reflection. "As for me, I don't 
count. I'm nobody. I wasn't born to things, 
and I don't expect them. But you — you are 
different. You are a beauty. And you are a 
mystery. A book could be written about you." 

I laughed a little. 

"It would have to be a book for children. 
Nothing has ever happened to me since I was 
a child, and then — they were all sad things." 
"But you are the sort of girl that things 
do happen to. They will yet ; you mark my 
words." 

I shook my head. 

"Oh, if they only would! I'm so, so tired of 
Peckham. If something would only happen 
to-day !" 

"What would you like best to happen ?" 
queried Anne. 

"Am I to have my choice? Are you a 
fairy god mother in disguise? Well, I should 
say. Please, fairy godmother, you see that 
beauteous maiden in pink muslin, driving with 
her mother in the particularly desirable vic- 
toria?" (As I spoke my eyes focused upon 
a wonderful girl who looked haughtily, lazily 
conscious that she was one of Fortune's su- 
preme favorites.) "Well, then, dear fairy 
godmother, wave your magic wand which so 
sadly resembles a three-and-sixpenny umbrella, 
and make me. if only for the space of one 
gorgeous month, like her. Give me as many 



Paris gowns, as much fun, as wild a whirl of 
gaiety, as she will enjoy this season. It isn't 
a very noble or exalted wish; but I'm in the 
11 d for that, and nothing else, to-day." 

Anne's chair was on my left. On my right, 
separated by a little distance, I had been con- 
scious for the past half hour of a vague cloudi- 
ness of silk and muslin that represented a 
woman. I had not actually glanced in her 
direction, but the corner of my eye had reflect- 
eed a pale, lavender fluff which was a sun- 
shade. Now, suddenly, it was lifted, and a 
soft voice addressed me from underneath. 

"Do forgive me, won't you? I really can't 
resist speaking. I don't want to be rude. On 
the contrary, I wish to be very nice. But — I 
couldn't help overhearing some of the things 
that you and your friend have been saying." 

I felt the color stealing up, as I racked my 
brain to recall exactly what we had been say- 
ing. Anne was staring in blank surprise ; for 
this was a personage of great magnificence 
who was endeavoring to draw us into conver- 
sation, and no doubt Anne was wondering, 
even as I was wondering, what could be the 
motive of such apparently purposeless conde- 
scension. 

The lady was of middle age — if women who 
frame their personal charms with the best can 
ever appear of middle age. She had elabor- 
ately undulated brown hair, under a bonnet 
that was a poem, in one verse; bright, search- 
ing brown ej es, and a complexion that could 
still live up to its past. As for her gown, it 
was too exquisitely Parisian to have been made 
out of London. 

"Don't look so horrified." she smiled. "I'm 
not mad, only a little eccentric. That means 
that some of my friends think me a genius. 
I wonder what you would think me if I sug- 
gested that you tried me as a fairy god- 
mother?" 

She spoke to me, not Anne. She did not 
even look at Anne after the first courteous, 
comprehensive glance. 

"Why. I — I'm afraid I'd think you were 
making fun of me," I stammered, since some 
answer must be given.

ROCHESTER, N. Y., OCTOBER 25, 1907 



Shall the Hen Burst? 

'T'HERE was once a farmer owning a good, conscientious hen who 
* laid one egg regularly each day, and being of a "get rich quick" 
turn of mind, became highly elated after having decided to force 
it into laying two eggs a day, by extra feeding, until one morning 
she burst. 

This is about the situation now existing between the City Fathers 
and the taxpayers of New York state — with the difference 
that the extra feed has been omitted. 

A few years since, it was settled that the taxpayers were getting 
off easy at the rate of $1.48 per hundred on their property, though 
any little difference in rates to the good for the former was quickly 
offset by the stern parents, who immediately raised the values of 
properties, so that the see-sawing property owner went from glad 
to sorry without loss of time, though a considerable amount out 
of pocket. 

Within the past few days, the public press announce a small 
diversion just formulated by the aforesaid ingenius brains, in re- 
laxation to which the obedient citizens are informed that their 
future tax bills will be augmented anywhere from $1.55 to $1.65 
per hundred ! 

Now "Government for the people and by the people" is a fine 
old legend — and is nothing more. 

Government to rob the people by a few people — is the new 
slogan with some schemers. 

A baker's dozen of those in control of the fat political offices, 
periodically awaken to the idea that they are not squeezing the 
public lemon quite to a "squash," and they proceed to put on an 
extra pressure by means of some gigantic job they have concocted, 
and then announce that unless it "goes through" cities will go to 
the dogs, into bankruptcy, or any other bogy that occurs to them 
with which to frighten the children. Then, with a Legislature 
bought and sold, the trick is done, then increased taxation ! 

As an instance of assessments in New York city, a sewer open- 
ing was to be repaired at the foot of West 28th street and the 
North river. Assessment for this was started as far up town as 
Eighth avenue and 34th street, extending to the North river; 
how far below 28th street, the writer could not learn, but taking 



the portion of the town referred to, there were six blocks to the 
north, and four triple length blocks to the west wherein each 
consecutive house owner had to contribute $28. 

It would be interesting to learn, should an expert mathematician 
figure it, how much of that sum would be required to repair the 
28th street sewer, and how much for the political cess pool ? 

In the case cited, a demur was entered by those levied upon, who 
were not intelligent enough to understand why a repair needed at 
28th street and the North river should be paid for by taxpayers 
at Eighth avenue and 34th street, and lawyers were consulted 
as to the expediency of making a concerted fight. 

The men of law scratched their heads, which produced a smile; 
shook them, and considered the demand preposterous — but 
— "The City had ordered it," and the hens must .pay — 
or burst! Some of them couldn't pay and took advantage of the 
latter opportunity. 

The writer being in ignorance, would like to inquire — Who 
is the City? 

Answering her own conundrum, she would say, though it might 
still be covered by four letters, they might frequently be conjured 
into spelling B-o-s-s. 

Allusions aside, are there not some good, strong, high-minded 
men and true, who, banding together, will bring the old legend of 
"Government for and by the people" to an effective Twentieth 
Century working basis, or must the homes go, — and the hens burst? 



THE suburban trolley lines owe much to the public of Western 
New York in the way of reduced freight rates and an efficient 
express service. Here is a new field for investigation by the Public 
Utilities Commission. There is nothing in the law which makes 
investigation of steam-road rates and methods its exclusive duty. 



William Ward— "Knocker" 

VI7THEN Robert Fulton proposed the navigation of the Hudson 
" River by steam-power, he was denounced as a "knocker" and 
an "obstructionist." What effect would his suppression have had 
on to-day's civilization? When Martin Luther took up his work 
he was called a "knocker" and an "obstructionist" — when the Eng- 
lish tarons demanded Magna Charta from King John they were 
stigmatized as "knockers" — when Wendell Phillips and William 
Lloyd Garrison preached the freedom of the blacks they were 
anathemized as knockers by slave-holders and "the interests" — 
when Edgar T. Brackett insisted upon an investigation of insur- 
ance matters he was scorned "as a reformer." Darius Green's 
flying machine was a subject of ridicule fifty years ago — to-day the 
scientists of two continents are centering their attention on the 
problem of aerial navigation. 

And so it has gone. Every leader for true reform, for better 
government, for better civilization, for honesty, has had to with- 
stand the cry of "knocker," "obstructionist" and "reformer." But 
the public, and especially the voting public, is growing wiser — the 
cry of "wolf" no longer dismays them when the cry comes from 
the mouthpieces of corporation or political wolves. The public is 
not misled as to the intent and the inspiration of the vigorous 
but venal journalistic protest, for instance against William Ward, 
Rochester's democratic candidate for mayor, on the grounds that 
he has been a "knocker" and an "obstructionist." The public no 
longer trusts a pap-sucking and subservient press for its informa-

or what they stand for. William Ward's opponent stand- for 
bossism, and the boss's interests, which are inevitably the selfish 
interests of "The Interests." William Ward stands for the "knock-

OCTOBER DAYS 



FRANCIS LAMONT PEIRCE 



I wandered away, one October day, 

Far into the forest's heart ; 
For the woodland wild with rich splendor smiled 

And a beauty surpassing art. 

From the swaying trees, in the morning breeze, 

Golden red the gay leaves fell, 
While the murmuring rills, in the rocky hills, 

Sang of nature's potent spell. 

The Shoe Pinches 

GOVERNOR Hughes' public service commission is learning much 
about the real feeling of the public toward the public service cor- 
porations, a feeling hitherto repressed because of an idea that the 
namby-pamby, if not corrupt politicians at Albany, cared more 
about graft and politics than they did about serving the people. 
Now that it appears men of different mold are at the helm, the 
public is coming right to the front and telling its troubles. West- 
ern New York milling interests used to be famous the country 
over. Latterly, they have sagged to the rear of the industrial pro- 
cession. 

Millers of Buffalo, Rochester. Niagara Falls and Syracuse say 
there is a reason for this. They allege that the railroads discriminate 
in favor of the Minnesota millers. The railroad managers retort 
that terminal facilities in Buffalo arc inadequate. 

Who is to blame but the railroads? Do they expect the public 
to give them valuable franchises and then build their railroads to 
boot? Fewer private car lines, less rebates to favored shippers 
who have a pull, and less watered stock would benefit the public 



And the darning sun. when the day was done. 
Touched the oaks with its last red beam ; 
And the moon rose white, with cold, mystic light. 
And looked down on the sleeping stream. 

O'er the tangled glade it's poor radiance played. 

While the darkest nooks grew bright : 
Restless thoughts were stilled and my soul was filled 

With the calm and the peace of night. 

What does the machinist know about guiding a plow? Would 
either earn his salt on a farm in the first three weeks, and harvest 
time lasts not so many more? 

Moreover, ii costs money to reach the country. How is the 
penniless city chap to pay railroad fare? Is it worth his while, 
for a possible day or - i x t \- days' work — pay coming by the month 
— to leave wife and family in the city while he goes to the 
country, only upon return to find his place filled in the factory, 
opened up during bis absence? Where could he house wife and 
family if he took them to the country, even if he had the ready 
to do so? 

Is he to be blamed if he prefers eight or nine months in the 
year of work to which be is accustomed, at from $2 to $3 a day, 
to a few weeks' work on the farm even at $2 or $2.50 a day and 
board? 

Probably, many a factory hand would be better off in the country 
once he became used to the life and work. But can he be blamed 
for remaining in the city when the farmer lad "hikes" to the city 
in as he has attained his majority? 



EVERY FRIDAY 



"My Lady Cinderella 



33 



"Then you'd be mistaken. I fancied, from 
some of the expressions which I involuntarily 
overheard that you were not — well, not quite 
a conventional girl; that you had an original 
way of regarding life. If you have, we might 
cultivate each other's acquaintance with mu- 
tual advantage." 

"I should find it more interesting to know 
you than you would to know me," I said 
meekly, for I felt as if I must have fallen 
asleep in my chair, and be dreaming. 

"That remains to be seen. Your preface 
looks promising. Let's begin, if you don't 
mind, to cut each other's leaves. My name is 
Sophie de Gretton— Lady Sophie de Gretton 
strangers call me. What is yours?" 

"Consuelo Brand," I answered. 

I had never talked to a Lady Anybody in 
my life, but though her aquiline nose and thin 
red line of lips might be formidable if she 
chose, she was easier to talk to than Cousin 
Sarah's friends in Peckham. 

"What a queer name! Why did they call 
you Consuelo ?" 

I blushed vividly. 

"My mother had had a great deal of trouble. 
She hoped I would be her consolation." 

"Oh, I beg your pardon ; I didn't mean to be 
prying. But it's my turn to impart informa- 
tion now. I live close by, in Park Lane. 
You can almost see my house from here. I 
strolled into the park by myself because I 
wanted to think." 

"And our chatter disturbed you." 

"On the contrary, it has been most helpful — 
why, is my secret. But what do you say, you 
and your friend, to going home with me and 
having a talk over a cup of tea?" 

My heart gave a little jump. Here was an 
adventure! The shabby nursery governess 
from Peckham asked to tea with a Personage 
in Park Lane ! 

"I should like it immensely, thank you, and 
so would my friend, Anne Bryden, I'm sure." 

I turned to Anne, but her face expressed 
disapproval. I could read her thoughts, and 
guessed that she was saying to herself: 
" Humph! how do we know that this bird of 
paradise isn't a sham? If she is really what 
she pretends to be, why on earth should she 
pick us up and invite us, after ten minutes' 
conversation, to visit her? There's something 
pretty queer about this." 

CHAPTER II. 

THE MYSTERIOUS VISITOR. 

ANNE, whom I had known ever since my 
dear dead mother and I had stopped at 
the boarding house which her mother kept, 
was now a mixture of typewriter, secretary, 
and companion to a vulgar, newly rich matron 
engaged in storming the outworks of society, 
and it was part of Anne's duty, I remembered, 
to read aloud endless columns of society 
gossip, bristling with titles. Probably she was 
familiar with that of Lady Sophie de Gretton, 
who lived in Park Lane, and believed that our 



{Continued from page r) 

eccentric new friend was for some nefarious 
purpose of her own masquerading in bor- 
rowed plumage. 

"I'm afraid," she replied stiffly to the ques- 
tion in my eyes, "that it's rather late, and we 
ought to be getting home. We don't live in 
Park Lane, and we've a long way to go." 

"Come alone, Miss Brand, if your friend 
has no time to spare," suggested the lady in 
lavender. 

It was a temptation. Never would such a 
chance be thrown in my way again; my future 
was bounded by Peckham. Yet I could not 
leave Anne. 

"Don't you think we might, dear?" I pleaded. 
"I won't go without you. But — it would be 
pleasant." 

"I wouldn't dream of letting you go alone," 
said Anne, with the air of preserving me from 
a death trap. "If you really wish it so much, 
I dare say we might manage a few minutes." 

Lady Sophie de Gretton rose. 

"We won't delay, then, if you haven't much 
time to spend, for I have several things to 
say whichl thinkwill surprise and interestyou." 

Anne walked along, keeping those big gray 
eyes of hers wide open. I hoped Lady 
Sophie did not realize that she was waiting 
to see whether we should indeed be led into 
Park Lane. 

But we were led there, and stopped before 
a quaint, pretty little white house, sandwiched 
in between two big ones, its windows blossom- 
ing with pink and white geraniums, and froth- 
ing over with snowy, frilled curtains. So far 
the adventure seemed genuine ; and the foot- 
man who opened the door (respectfully ad- 
dressing our companion as "my lady") was 
grand enough to convince even Anne. 

We passed through a miniature hall, whose 
walls could not be seen for exquisite engrav- 
ings, went up half a stairway, and had the 
door of a fairy bower thrown open for us. 
Cousin Sarah East would have scorned chintz 
for her parlor in Peckham, where she had a 
"suite" of saddlebag, or something else that 
sounded horsey to the ear; but Lady Sophie 
de Gretton's drawing-room was all white and 
green and rosy and ruffly with chintz. 

We sat down, I feeling more conscious of 
my dusty old boots and serge, white round 
the seams, than ever. Presently the footman 
brought tea, with strawberries and cream and 
tiny cakes, and quantities of silver that looked 
imposingly ancestral. 

"Now for business,!" exclaimed Lady Sophie, 
when I had grown more and more dazed with 
the thought that I was dreaming her, and 
Anne's shrewd little brown face had relaxed 
into a mingling of curiosity and good nature. 

It was to be business, then ! I was stabbed 
with humiliating dread lest Lady Sophie de 
Gretton were on the committee of a girls' 
friendly society, and had gathered us in as 
likely candidates. She had a brusque way of 
speaking, despite her low, sweet voice, and she 
went on abruptly: 



"You haven't told me yet where you live." 

"In another world," I retorted. "They call 
it Peckham." 

"Do you like this better?" 

"Yes," entering into the spirit of the cate- 
chism. 

"How would you like to have that wish of 
yours granted — as I hinted it might be, if you 
would trust to my wand — and live here, sur- 
rounded by the joys which I heard you cata- 
loguing to your fairy godmother ? Now, don't 
fall into error again, and fancy I'm making fun 
of you, for I'm not. I'm asking you a serious 
question, and I want a serious answer." 

A curious tingling chill was creeping up 
from my finger tips. 

"I — I don't think I understand you," I 
heard somebody say, and was dimly aware 
that the somebody could only be myself. 

"Yes, you do. If you are dumfounded, it is 
because you are a singularly modest young 
woman. Turn round; glance at that mirror 
on the wall near you, and see whether you can 
guess why a rather lonely, eccentric person, 
who is tired of most things and pines for 
variety, might be seized with a sudden violent 
desire to have you for — for a new doll to 
play with?" 

I did not take her at her word and glance 
mirrorward for I was familiar enough with 
the reflection I should have met there ; though, 
to be sure, I only saw it in small, greenish 
sections at home. I was not ignorant of the 
fact that I was pretty, or might be pretty in 
a decent dress; but I had not suspected that 
I was pretty enough to triumph over the com- 
bined hat (which the youngest East had sat 
on in a rage this morning), boots, and serge. 

"You don't answer. Don't you think your 
people would let you come for a while?" 

"I have no people. Only a cousin, who 
doesn't like anyone to know that we're cousins. 
When she is angry she says she 'keeps me out 
of charity.' When I answer her back, I say that 
I more than earn my living. Sometimes she 
tells me she wishes I were out of her sight 
forever. I don't know whether she means it 
or not, but I do not suppose she could force 
me to stay if I were determined to go." 

I made these explanations jerkily, and then, 
at the end, before Lady Sophie de Gretton 
could comment upon them, I broke out : 

"But why — why do you say such strange 
things to me, whom you never saw till an 
hour ago? There are thousands of girls 
whom you know who would love to come and 
visit you — poor girls, perhaps, yet in your own 
class of life. Why do you put such ideas in 
my head when you must feel, if you stop to 
think, that by to-night you will be sorry, and 
have to disappoint the poor 'doll' you wanted 
to play with?" 

"My mind is made up," she quietly returned. 
"As for the 'why — why' which you fling at 
me, can't you be satisfied with the explana- 
tion I have given? I've set my heart on hav-

Another Warfield='Belasco Triumph 

Unanimous Praise Awarded to all Connected with "A Grand Army Man" which is 
Being Given at the New Stuyvesant Theater, New York 



OLIVER STURGES JONES 



UNDOUBTEDLY the most enthralling 
event and topic of general conversation 
to date in New York's theatrical season was 
the opening last week of the new Stuyvesant 
i leater, and the presentation of " \ Grand 
Army Man," with I 'avid Warfield in the lead- 
ing role. It is riglitly styled "A new Ameri- 
can play," ami is the work of Pauline Phelps 




DAVID WARFIELD 

Who has achieved another artistic success in his new play 

"A Grand Army Man" 

and Marian Short, re-written and shaped by 
David Belasco. 

The scenes are laid in Indiana in the 'SO's, 
and Warfield's part is that of the village stage 
driver, who is also a veteran and commander 
of the G. A. R. post. The emotional situa- 
tions are provided by the venial sin of his 
adopted boy, who unthinkingly takes some 
money belonging to the post and is put on 
trial for the theft, his father pleading for him 
in court. Most of the characters are "com- 
rades" of the post, so that the atmosphere of 
the play is out and out American. Warfield 
has broken completely with his Yiddish ped- 
ler. 

Both the new theater and the new play re- 
ceived unstinted and unanimous praise from 
the critics, and it was distinctly a night of 
triumph for the star, as well as for Mr. Bel- 
asco, his manager, who is undoubtedly the 
finest exponent of stage-craft and theatrical 
technicalities we have in America to-day. "A 
Grand Army Man" is mounted with "a real- 
ism no less thorough going and effective than 
Warfield's acting." says one well known au- 
thority. 

"A memorable evening." "a page of real life, 
beautifully acted by a remarkably fine com- 
pany.'' "many tears and much laughter are skil- 
fully called forth without the least effort," are 



some of the eulogies indulged in by the critics, 
who seem to have been quite carried away 
by the intensity, pathos and humor of War- 
field's acting, as well as the complete llawless- 
ness of the whole production. 

Reuben Fax, Howard Hall, George Wood- 
ward and Marie Bates all come in for special 
mention, and a charming bit of natural acting 
is furnished by William Elliott, whose por- 
trayal of the boy Robert is "an amazing pres- 
entation of youthful enthusiasm, giving way 
to hopeless shame and fear." 

There is every indication that Warfield's re- 
markable record with "The Music Master" 
will be eclipsed by "A Grand Army Man." 



a single performance. It is the one play of 
life thai can be stamped as an un- 
qualified success; not only from a pecuniary 
standpoint, but as artistically and faithfully 



"The College Widow" Again 

ALTHOUGH now in its fourth year, "The 
College Widow" is as popular as ever, 
and the Lyceum Theater will certainly be 
crowded again next Thursday evening, especi- 
ally as this visit of the company is limited to 
PHOEBE STRAKOSCH 




TN making a revival of the "Puccini" opera "Madame 
1 Butterfly" this year, Henry W. Savage has engaged a 
company different in most points from that whxh he pre- 
sented last season with such marked success. All the new- 
comers arc well endorsed by New York's musical critics. 
Phoebe Strakosch who sang the title role on the opening 
night at the Garden Theater is spoken of as an engaging 
person and an admirable singer, who uses with intelligence 
aivoice of power and beautiful quality. 




MARY MANNERING 

Wife of James K. Hackett, who has iust opened her second 

season in "Glorious Betsy." After a short road tour 

she will return to New York for an indefinite run 

at Hackett's Theatre. She is still playing 

under the Shubcrt management

Henry W. Savage's name stands for all that 
is artistic and elaborate in theatrical produc- 
tions, and "The College Widow" has been 
supplied with a lavish scenic investiture and a 
specially selected cast to portray the many 
peculiar types in which George Ade's greatest 
comedy abounds. 



"His Honor the Mayor" 

Criticisms that have come to our observance 
on "His Honor the Mayor," which comes to 
the Lyceum next Monday for three nights, in- 
dicate that it is one of the most amusing shows 
which has been offered for some time, and 
when Boston critics agree with the New York 
reviewers in pronouncing a play a "remark- 
able hit," it certainly must be of an excellence 
out of the ordinary. 

Harry Kelly, the star of the production, has 
developed an unusual character in the play 
called "Deacon Flood," which is said to be 
the most mirth provoking creation now on the 
boards.

EVERY FRIDAY 



The Evolution of Donaldson Vickers 



Forced, by so long a silence, the rector 
looked up, with the same stolid expression, 
and said: "Well?" 

"I have no desire to annoy you, or make any 
demands," she said, "and I really have but one 
question to ask — my child, where is he?" All 
her soul was in the pleading intonation of 
these words. 

With premeditated distinctness, he replied: 
"You did not hear that he was dead?" 

Her hands fell apart. "I have heard noth- 
ing, nothing," she moaned, "but somehow, I 
have always felt that he lived, and this belief 
has grown with me through all these years. I 
wish that he might have lived, for now — it 
might be — different." 

A look, approaching contempt, flitted across 
his face, as he said: "We can never undo the 
past. We were both rash, indiscreet, and 
heedless of propriety and disastrous conse- 
quences. A girl of fifteen, a youth of seven- 
teen — oh, the pity of it, the pity of it! For- 
give me, even as our Father in Heaven has 
forgiven me." 

What recollections surged over her memory 
as she looked into his hard, good face! Yet 
how stern and uncompromising it was ! 

"But we were married?" she asked with a 
halting accent, half of fear. 

"A mere mockery," he said, in almost 
judicial tones. "A blasphemy, a child's play, 
wholly illegal. Only a young, inexperienced 
student-rector could have performed that cere- 
mony, and made such a ruinous mistake. No 
law recognizes the marriage of two children." 
A pious hauteur of rigid complacency drove 
every trace of feeling from his lineaments. 

Again a painful silence. 

"You — you are — married?" she asked tim- 
idly. 

He shook his head with a slow, hopeless 
motion. "I shall never be fit for a good 
woman," he said, "a woman good enough to 
be a rector's wife." 

"And you could never marry one — who — 
was — not" — 

"God forbid !" he snapped out in holy 
ejaculation before she could finish the sen- 
tence. 

Sara felt her murdered pride bleeding in 
her cheeks and, rising hastily, said with formal 
dismissal : "That is all : I will not longer 
detain you." 

The rector stood, abstractedly, for a mo- 
ment, and then, without looking at her, asked : 
"Your marriage — will be" — 

"No," answered Sara, quickly, "I will never 
be fit for a good man." 

He looked at her quickly, suspecting a 
taunt in the words, but her manner was not 
that of taunting or revenge. She had spoken 
the words that seemed to be the only ones to 
use. They had leaped to her lips. How 
piteous she looked ! eyes cast down, hands 
hanging by her side in a sort of limp forlorn- 
ness ! 



(Continued from last number) 

"May God forgive you, even as He has for- 
given me," prayed the rector in a tone of 
benediction, as he passed out into the chill 
air — a justified and self-righteous man ! 

Walking with the same duty-gauged stride, 
he returned to his study. Taking the same 
seat, he resumed his emotionless gaze in the 
glowing grate. 

At length, having apparently reasoned him- 
self into a tangle, he said aloud, as though 
communing man-to-man with The Most High : 
"I thought I had been forgiven; thought my 
life had been purified, fumigated of evil, ren- 
dered immune from common sin; that my 
course was so straight, my soul so bulwarked, 
I would encounter no surprises, as from an 
enemy; no traps and snares, no elemental mis- 
takes, and yet — and yet — O Merciful God !" he 
moaned, as he fell on his knees and bowed 
his head on the open Bible upon the table; 
"yet / lied to her! I, who teach others the 
sacredness of truth, at all times, and in all 
circumstances ! Forgive this, as Thou hast 
forgiven all the rest." 

Then, throwing himself into his chair again, 
with an uncertain and troubled expression, he 
continued his confession to the glowing fire: 

"It was a lie. Did not Abraham lie, and 
was he not justified? How could I tell her 
that we were legally wed; that the boy lives; 
that I have vowed to set apart my life for God 
and for him ; that this dear boy she will mourn 
as dead is my only earthly happiness? She 
would only — emotionally desire to possess him, 
to — no, it would never do ! That sort of a 
weak, too-yielding woman — it would never 
do." 

His lips were compressed into a thin, pale 
line, forsaken of curve and pity. 

Here sat the mature saint, the deliberate and 
studied product of penance and piety, sitting 
in judgment on the impetuous, unripened girl 
of fifteen, when the impulsive youth of seven- 
teen should have been her judge ! 

The religion of Donaldson Vickers was 
wholly personal and introspective, and of a 
selective quality specially adapted to his own 
peculiar needs. 

If one desires but to satisfy one's needs, 
either physical, mental, or spiritual, one can 
never hope to emerge from the shadow of 
Poverty. 

The soul whose needs only, have been ac- 
quired and purchased by pre-determined 
weight and measure, grows graceless for lack 
of the luxuries of the spiritual realm; for the 
wealth of its apparently needless niceties, 
sumptuous feasts and riotous revelries. He is 
a niggard who voluntarily and calculatingly 
limits his requirements to his needs. 

And Sara? 

She felt a great, impenetrable fog gathering 
about her; it enveloped her life in its obliter- 
ating folds. Through its drab density she 
could not see, nor could her soul divine; every 
reserve faculty of her sub-conscious self but 



confirmed the fact that she was alone, and 
lost, in a strange, unchartered world of meas- 
ureless, blinding fog, that vibrated with a 
despairing sob. 

It did not occur to her that he — of all men 
that had been born of woman — he had "first 
cast a stone at her." 

Her thoughts, fog-bound, were wholly self- 
centered; she saw herself only as he saw her; 
accepted without question, his righteous meas- 
urement of her unredeemed soul. 

All through the long, long night, and the 
day, and the succeeding night and day, — they 
were all alike in the impalpable mist that en- 
shrouded her life — she was capable of evolv- 
ing but two thoughts : One, the child she had 
interlinked with the best there was in her for 
six years, was dead, — had never been, but as 
a passing whisper from another world; the 
other, that she must walk, stumbling blindly, 
but steadily and determinedly, until she should 
reach a place — somewhere, sometime — where 
there was no fog. 

From that moment began the redemption of 
her soul. 

In every journey there are two correlated 
points, between which, the inter-connections 
appear as mere incidents : one is the starting 
point, without which there is no other. 

Sara had decided upon this point. 

IV. 

Resting on the last step of the world, as the 
sun goes down the western stairs, is a great 
city. If it pulsates with the healthy flow of a 
vigorous prosperity, it also throbs with the 
fever of poverty and crime. Joy and grief, 
wealth and want, health and disease, good and 
evil, here gaze at each other with a stolid 
equanimity grown of constant gazing. 

Thither had Sara wandered through the 
fog. At first she had seen but a vague out- 
line of the world, outside herself, but as the 
years passed, she began to see that she was 
no longer alone, or hopeless, or helpless; 
then, lo ! the fog lifted ! 

She was a trained nurse — the most efficient 
in "The Children's Hospital" — and was known 
only as "Nurse Sara." 

One serene morning, when the air was so 
clear that the great blue blurs oi mountains in 
the far distance dared to come near and look 
in the windows, Sara's soul was surcharged 
with a holy calm. In placid satisfaction she 
was calculating the distance between the then 
and the now ; between an impenetrable fog and 
a great blue-rimmed bowl of limpid crystal; 
between a starveling of a soul, and one that 
fared sumptuously every day. 

Her patient stirred uneasily. Going quickly 
to his bedside she called his name softly, as 
though she were blending it in his dreams, 
"Allan !" 

A handsome lad opened his unnaturally 
bright eyes and said: "Nurse Sara, I'm so

Our Women High in Music's Sphere 

Educational Facilities of America and Other Advantages of Their Environment, Render 
Them Superior as Composers to Their European Sisters 



IT bas been said that "no woman has become 
a groat composer." This is due, not to her 
incapacity, but to her lack of opportunity. 

Until recently, woman has been excluded 
from the fields of art. while man has had hun- 
dreds of years in which to develop his intellect 
and emotions in that dirccti in. 

For countless generations, through pre- 
historic times, and past the Middle Ages, man 
was the master, woman the slave, lie did 
not allow her to cultivate herself to the height 
of her mental and emotional capacities, but 
kept her down to a level that would make 
her a useful servant to him. 

This, however, was in the dim nast. To-day 
woman is allowed more liberty of mind and 
heart which enables her to accomplish works 
of merit in all departments ; but it must not he 
expected that she can do in a few years what 
man has required centuries to perform. In 
some things, woman can neither wish nor 
hope to be man's equal ; in others, given the 
same amount of time, she can and will be his 
equal, especially in music, when she may ex- 
press all the emotions of her nature. 

Science has given to the world a Mrs. 
Somerville; literature, a George Eliot; poetry, 
a Mrs. Browning; painting, an Angelica 
Kaufmann, and a Rosa Bonheur, so it is 
reasonable to believe that in the great art of 
music, woman will be equally represented. 

Rubinstein regarded the woman-composer 
and instrumental performer, a sign of musical 
decadence, although he did -admit that she 
excelled in singing. He further states in his 
book, "Music and its Masters," that "the two 
feelings most peculiar to woman — love of a 
man, and tender feeling for a child — have found 
no echo from them in music; that no love-duo 
nor cradle-song composed by woman, has pos- 
sessed artistic value that could make it 
typical." 

This view of Rubinstein may be true ; never- 
theless, woman has her great mission in the 
musical world. It may not be so spectacular 
as that of man, but it is equally necessary. 
She keeps music alive in the home, and while 
she may not have accomplished marvelous 
works in composition, she fills an important 
place in the economy of musical things. 

It has been frequently asserted that women 
are incapable of original creative musical pro- 
ductiveness; that they are too anxious to 
please, too susceptible to influences, and too 
deficient in imagination to succeed as musical 
composers; that although the feminine temper- 
ament is essentially artistic, the receptive 
faculty far exceeds the creative. 

One of the most remarkable signs of the 
times is the emancipation of the feminine mind 
and body, the natural outcome of which is

woman's progress towards the highest forms 
of musical art and science, and she is no longer 
an unknown quantity in this problem of de- 
velopment 

In the United States to-day, Mrs. H. H. V 
Beach, of Boston, Mass., heads a worthy pro- 
cession of musical women. Margaret Lang, 
Emma R. Steiner, Grace Atherton, Laura 
Sedgwick Collins, Jessie L. Gaynor, Carrie 
Jacobs Bond, Hope Glen, Mrs. Sutro, Mrs. 
Tappan, Kate Vannah, and others have pro- 
duced works of merit in musical composition. 
Mrs. Beach is the greatest woman-composer 
of America. She is a New Englander by birth, 
and received all her musical training in her 
native country. Her compositions are numer- 
ous, ranging from simple songs and juvenile 
works for the piano-forte, to large choral 
numbers and the symphony, which have been 
presented by our leading orchestras and music 
societies. 

The educational facilities of our country, 
together with the lack of prejudice against 
woman as a composer, have brought forth a 
larger number in this special domain, than 
European countries. 

The public does not care in what country 
a composer is born, so long as his work pleases. 
If it is good music, it matters not who com- 
posed it, the American public will go and hear 
it. In this way, American compositions of 
merit will receive encouragement, provided the 
American composer is not so engrossed in his 
own work that he neglects to recognize the 
good in those of his fellow composers. 

Wagner says: "The peculiar province of 
music is to awaken the sense of the Infinite." 
This may be accomplished by the man or 
woman-composer, who displays elegance of 
style, and a masterly working out of refined, 
noble conditions of heart and mind.

ceptionally graceful appreciation of the needs 
of the soloist. One critic has well said of 
her, "When she wishes to make the piano 
murmur, she can produce an effect of pure 

Last season Mrs. Barbour appeared a num- 
ber of times with the Dossenbach quintette, 
playing the difficult piano parts of such works 
as: Schumann's Quintette, Opus 44; Rhein- 
herger's Quintette, Opus 114; Schubert (Forel- 
len Quintette), Beethoven's Quartette, Opus 
16, and others of equal character. This season 
she has arranged for a series of concerts in 
New York city, where she will present her 
own compositions, with the assistance of lead- 
ing artists of song. These compositions have 
received the praise and attention of Schumann- 
lleink, Marie Rappold, Madame Olga Samar- 
off, Madame Julie Rive-King and others re- 
nowned in the musical world. 

Besides her beautiful songs, Mrs. Barbour 
has written for quartette and chorus, for 
violin, for organ, and for piano-forte. One 
of her latest compositions is for violin and 
piano, published by Carl Fischer. 

With her combined gifts as poet and com- 
poser, Mrs. Barbour is entitled to a place of 
high rank among America's leading musicians. 



Mrs. Barbour's Unique Position 

Mrs. Barbour stands at the head of Roch- 
ester's musical women, and occupies the 
position of being the only woman-composer 
in this city. She possesses the true artistic 
temperament, is full of musical enthusiasm, 
and wonderfully gifted as a composer of songs. 

In her songs. Mrs. Barbour's knowledge of 
instrumentation is evinced in the orchestral 
effects of the accompaniments, which express 
perfectly her poetic, musical fancies and her 
unusually keen intuitions. Her harmonies are 
rich, ami show the study of good mo 
while her preludes and interludes arc wonder- 
fully melodious. One charm of Mrs. Barbour's 
is the perfect interpretation of the senti- 
ment of each poem. 

As an accompanist, she manifests her poet-

must do something. Now, what would you 
advise me to do:"

// J Were Mayor of Syracuse 



REV. CHARLES A. FULTON 



I have been asked what I would do if by 
an} r possibility I were elected as Mayor 
of Syracuse. 

I need not say that in such an event I should 
give the matter more time and consideration 
than is possible at present, but in response 
to your inquiry I will state a few of the things 
which I should attempt to do. I hardly need 
to say that I should seek to keep myself in 
condition to properly represent the city on 
public occasions, and that I should avoid giv- 
ing encouragement to lawlessness, either by 
my own actions or by my invitation to others. 

I should seek to enforce the laws as they 
are in a fair and equitable manner, making 
no exception of those which are intended to 
safe-guard the moral welfare of the com- 
munity. 

I should seek to protect the women who 
suffer and the children who are corrupted and 
trained for anarchy and crime. I should en- 
deavor to lift the Police Department out of 
collusion with vice and crime or out of in- 
competence as the case may require. 

I should seek to reduce expenses by cutting 
off superfluous employees and extravagant sal- 
aries. 

I should expect to put at least five hundred 
thousand dollars a year into legitimate trade 
by keeping the saloon traffic within legal limits. 
This it would be easy to do, judging by the 
experience of other cities. 

I should favor playgrounds for the children 
and parks for all, with provision made by the 
city, if allowed, for band concerts as is done 
elsewhere. 

Judging by the experiences of other cities, 
I should hope to save enough in the reduction 
of expense from crime and poverty growing 
out of the lawless saloon traffic during for- 
bidden hours and with forbidden persons, so 
that playgrounds, parks and music could be 



afforded without laying additional burdens on 
the tax-payers. 

I should seek to have the assessments for 




Dr.Fulton is pastor of the biggest Baptist church in town, 
and has taken an active interest in closing saloons Sundays, 
as a representative of the Good Government League. Fulton 
was a name saloon ke=p=rs conjured with en Sundays. He 
entered their places at all hours of the day and night and 
demanded cf them to close up. He has said that he would 
as socn vote for a yellow dog as to vote for Mayor Fobes, but 
Mayor Fobes' opponent in this election is Frank Matty, ex- 
saloon keeper and ex-gambling room proprietor. Dr. Fulton 
was nominated for Mayor on the Prohibition ticket, but 
declined. 



taxes made equitable, as they are not to-day. 

I should seek to improve the condition of 

the unpaved streets. It would be impossible 



to make the condition worse than it is now 
in some instances. I should try to see that 
when improvements were undertaken sufficient 
foresight was exercised, so that it would not 
be necessary to do the same work two or three 
times over within a few months. 

I should seek to guard the water supply 
without waiting to be forced. 

I should favor liberal appropriations for all 
educational purposes, including summer and 
evening schools. 

I would seek to advance the commercial in- 
terests of the city, and lay a firm foundation 
for enduring civic pride by forming an Ad- 
visory Council of representatives from the 
Chamber of Commerce, the Trades Assembly, 
the Board of Education, the University, the 
Bar Association, and such other organizations 
or professions as might be safely counted upon 
for broad-minded, skilled and patriotic deliber- 
ation and advice. This I should do, not as an 
experiment, but following, so far as American 
conditions would allow, the usage of the best 
governed cities of Europe in which men count 
it a duty and an honor to render such service 
without charge. I should seek to surround 
myself with competent men of high character 
and, having conferred with them, should act 
upon my mature judgment and in accordance 
with the demands of the best interests of the 
city. 

I should seek to act, not as the representative of 
a party, for party politics has properly no place 
in municipal affairs, but as the representative 
of all the citizens, those with whom I may 
differ in my personal opinions and preferences 
as well as those with whom I agree. 

I am ready to unite with all good citizens 
in the support of any man who will stand 
upon the platform of fidelity to his oath, im- 
partial enforcement of law, and the further- 
ance of the highest interests of the city. 



Stage News and Notes 

EVERYONE who has seen "The Thief" at 
the Lyceum Theatre, New York, has pro- 
nounced it to be one of the strongest, and most 
sensational of modern plays. It is a powerful 
dramatic production with a beautiful young 
wife as its heroine who steals money with 
which to buy personal adornments, and it is 
one of the deepest studies of woman's ways 
and weaknesses that have thus far come from 
the pens of the dramatists. It is magnificently 
acted by Kyrle Bellew and Margaret Illington 
in the chief roles. 

Christie MacDonald has been engaged by 
Charles Frohman for his production of a new 
musical comedy, entitled "Miss Hook of 
Holland." 

James K. Hackett is rehearsing his company, 
which includes Miss Darragh, Olive Oliver, 
Ida Waterman, Beatrice Beckley, Irene Moore, 
William Sauter, David Glassford, George M. 
Graham, Walter B. Greene, and Lawrence 



Eddinger, in Alfred Sutro's play, "John 
Glayde's Honor." in which Mr. Hackett will 
appear this season. The opening performance 
will be in Milwaukee on November 4. 

The return to the original cast to George 
Broadhurst's play, "The Man of the Hour," 
at the Savoy Theater, New York, has given a 
new impetus to the long run it has enjoyed. 
No play produced in recent years has at- 
tracted quite the attention it has from public 
men and civic and political organizations. It 
is now approaching its 450th performance at 
the Savoy. 

Rehearsals of "The Coming of Mrs. Pat- 
rick," the new drama by Rachel Crothers, 
author of "The Three of Us," which is to be 
the next Lawrence production at the Madison 
Square Theater, New York, are now prog- 
ressing rapidly. Laura Nelson Hall is evident- 
ly to make an admirable Mrs. Patrick. 

Van Rennsalaer Wheeler has been engaged 
by Henry W. Savage to sing the title role in 



"Tom Jones," an English comic opera to be 
produced the latter part of the month. 

John Drew has surpassed all his previous 
New York records at the Empire Theater. 
He is doing the most prosperous business of 
his career at this house with the pretty and 
brilliant comedy "My Wife." 



New York Still Keeps It 

"The Great Divide" is now in the third 
month of its second New York year at Daly's, 
with no indication that its truly remarkable 
metropolitan run is near an end. Henry Mil- 
ler and Miss Anglin have been offered hand- 
some bonuses by managers all over the coun- 
try to cut short the New York engagement, 
and present the William Vaughn Moody drama 
in their theaters before the holidays, but they 
have been compelled to decline. It is impos- 
sible to say at present when other cities will 
get a chance to see "The Great Divide."

EVERY FRIDAY 



Political 'Barons of Western Neto York. 



FEUDAL barons in olden days held absolute 
sway over their vassals. In the twentieth 
century, political barons have exercised well- 
nigh as imperious dictatorship. Within his 
domain, each made and unmade congressmen, 
postmasters, state senators, members of as- 
sembly, mayors, county officers, town officials 
and, in union, helped to make governors, Uni- 
ted States senators and presidents. 

These political barons, not infrequently, by 
their control over legislation and of the pub- 
lic funds, were able to hold business nun and 
great enterprises and large financial corpora- 
tions at bay. "Were able" is used advisedly 
because the powerful influence of President 
Roosevelt and Governor Hughes seems to be 
blazing the way for a new era. 

Western New York has furnished line ex- 
amples of political barons of latest approved 
model. In Onondaga, Francis Hendricks has 
run things roughshod for years. The insur- 
ance expose, apparently, has not weakened 
Hendricks in his baronial supremacy. Onon- 
daga last fall gave Hughes the biggest re- 
publican plurality of recent years. I his fall's 
election may reveal a new order of things 
because Hendricks has been implacable in his 
hatred of Charles Evans Hughes and his re- 
form ideas. He is one of the few barons who 
has not communicated with or called upon 
Governor Hughes since his inauguration, and 
his senators and assemblymen fought all the 
governor's measures last winter. 

Democracy's willing-to-be-baron in Onon- 
daga is James K. McGuire, who rose from 
newsboy to successful business man and mayor 
of Syracuse. At present he is confidential 
agent for the Asphalt Trust. 

Senator Benjamin M. Wilcox, variously 
styled "Smooth Ben" and "the Chesterfield of 
Cayuga," rules Cayuga county with a rod of 
iron. He used to be a shoe merchant, with 
stores in Rochester and Auburn, but in the 
second year of his service in the state As- 
sembly he sold his stores and announced he 
intended to follow politics as a livelihood and 
profession. Even if, as the Man land farmer 
told Congressman Lorimer, "polities is not a 
profession but a disorder," Ben has done well. 
He is one of the best dressers in Albany, a 
good liver and a nervy stock speculator, lie 
dominates his barony so absolutely that Con- 
gressman Sereno E. Payne, republican leader 
in Congress, who resides in Cayuga, cannot 
select even the town clerk in his own pre- 
cinct unless Ben gives his O. K. Hie Cayuga 
democracy has no baron now. Charles 1'. 
Ratigan and Dr. M. P. Conway trot a nip 
and tuck race as to who shall wear the orna- 
mental title of leader. 

Senator John Raines, the lust lieuteni 
Piatt and Odell, is the political baron of On- 
tario county, and it is said that he has been 
the most successful political baron in the state 
in securing for his vassals remunerative places 
in the state and national service. A state civil 
service commissioner, the state commissioner 



WILLARD A. MARAKLE 

of excise, a state commissioner in lunai > . 
besides scores of minor placeholders yell 
"Rah for Raines," whenever his name is nun 
tioncd. Raines defeated Governor Hughes 
in his effort to remove Otto Kelscy as state 
supcrintcdent of insurance, but has trained 
with the governor since that episode. 

With the passing of James W. Dunwell, a 
new baron wears the crown in Wayne. A 
pupil of Groat and Van Camp, and for years 
the first lieutenant of Dunwell, Charles II. 
Betts has driven Barney Davis, Marvin I. 
Greenwood, Edson Hamn, George Morton and 
the rest to the wall, and to-day, while his 
sway is not absolute, it is well-nigh undis- 
puted. Betts began at Albany as a committee 
clerk about the same time as the late Jean I.. 
Burnett, but played politics somewhat dif- 
ferently. He bought a run-down paper, the 




JAMES K. McGUIRE 
Tbe Democratic Mogul of the Saline City 

Lyons "Republican," and put life into it. Then 
he used the paper to break into politics. He 
succeeded fairly well and then bought other 
papers in Wayne county, until to-day he is 
known as the "Frank Munsey of Rural 
Journalism." He has ousted Barney Davis 
from the state committee, has just nominated 
a Supreme court justice from Wayne, and 
Congressman Payne and Senator Raines rec- 
ognize him as the dispenser of Federal and 
State patronage in his barony. Betts is shrewd 
ami can scent coming trouble far enough 
ahead to jump and land on his feet. Demo- 
cracy in Wayne lacks a baron, because, like 
most rural communities in New York state, 
its denizens are republicans of the hard-shell 
sort, and borons are always a by-product of 
the dominant sentiment. 

In Orleans, however, there is a budding 
democratic baron. His name is Barry Murphy, 



.nid he used to be a drummer of the persuasive 
ort anil a rural CO nt for mctro- 

ii papers. Last summer he organized the 
young democrats so successfully that he routed 
Churches and the Ha id Orleans 

was the first democratic county convention to 
declare for Hearst. State Chairman Conners 
thought a youngster who could do that de- 
rived recognition, so he took Barry to New 
York to help him run the state campaign. 
Harry filled the bill well enough to attract the 
attention of Lieutenant-Governor Chanler. 
who asked him to become his private secretary. 
After due deliberation, Barry accepted, and 
he has served the Chanlers so well that if 
any of them attains to the governorship 
or presidency Barry is sure to go along, and 
who knows but that another Dan Lamont 
may sup to the front? Already Barry is 
classed as next to John Raines as a patronage 
hunter for his Orleans county peasants. He 
is a shrewd young Irishman, who neither 
drinks nor smokes, and always has his head 
with him. 

Justice cannot be done the barons and baron- 
ies of Livingston, Niagara, Genesee, Orleans 
and Wyoming unless they are considered to- 
gether in great part. Extending on from the 
days when the Indians ranged over the Gen- 
esee Valley, the family of Wadsworth has 
exercised not baronial but like unto regal sway 
over the territory now comprised in these 
counties. If Hendricks. Wilcox, Raines and 
Betts may be styled barons, James W. Wads- 
worth, of Livingston, might well be called a 
duke. In the legislative halls in Albany and 
Washington his face has been familiar these 
many years, while in state conventions he 
marshaled his trusty retainers from five 
baronies. Irving L'Hommedieu might be 
titular baron of Orleans or sit in the state com- 
mittee, Van Gordcr might head the Wyoming 
vassals. Sanders might captain the Genesee 
yeomanry, Merritt might command in Niagara, 
but wherever Wadsworth, of Livingston, sat 
the others bowed obeisance. He named the 
county judges, the district attorneys, the sen- 

, the assemblymen, and all the other offi- 
cials in the five baronies within his duchy, 
never forgetting to send himself to Congress 
every two years. His sway was undisputed, 
and, with true ducal foresight, he had begun 
to plan for the future by sending his son, 
James W. Wadsworth. Jr., to the Assembly, 
there to be tutored for the higher honers 
which were to be in store for him. In the 
break between Governor Higgins and Ben. 
Odell, James W.. Jr.. was promoted to the 
speakership, and fortune seemed to shower all 
her favors upon the dynasty of Wadsworth. 

But a cloud had gathered upon the horizon. 
Frederick C. Stevens appeared upon the scene, 
a gentleman fully as conversant with Wash- 
ington ways as Wadsworth, with business 
acumen as keen— it had been developed in 
gobbling up and consolidating banks, street

glad to be here with you. I never had a 
mother." 

Her hand trembled over his brow, and 
touched lightly the gold-brown hair. She had 
felt her heart go out to this lad as to no other 
human being, and as his life ebbed out, she 
was oppressed with an unaccountable grief. 

"But you have a good father," she answered 
cheerfully, "you have said that he taught you 
to pray; that he prays with you." 

"Y-e-s, he's good, but— it's hard good; you 
can't make a nest in it," he said with such 
pathetic wishfulness in his tones. 

The head physician motioned Sara to give 
place to another nurse. Outside the door he 
said: "Nurse Sara, I have said repeatedly 
that you are too sympathetic for your calling. 
You are all heart and feeling, — it won't do, it 
won't do ! This case is hopeless, only a ques- 
tion of enough life-oil to burn an hour or two. 
Let some one else take the ending. We need 
you for those that are going to live. You 
have been unnecessarily attentive to this 
patient. It burns out force— don't do it. It 
doesn't pay to have too much heart." 

"Just this once." pleaded Sara. "I shall not 
do it again. Let me stay till the end. The 
poor boy has no mother. Have you sent for 
his father?" 

"Yes, he will come directly. He was here 
last night while your assistant was on duty." 
"You were born to be a woman and a 
mother, not an impersonal nurse," the doctor 
said in a despairing voice as he walked away. 
Faster and faster coursed the fevered life- 
current; quicker and quicker hammered the 
pulse till it was but a countless flutter. 

"Nurse Sara," gasped the tired boy, "your 
watch — ticks — too — slow." 

He felt the hurrying of the tide as it bore 
him into the deeps, and realized the slowness 
of the measured flight of time. 

The quiet entrance of two persons caused 
Sara to look up. One was her assistant 
nurse; the other. Rev. Donaldson Vickers. 
Following the nurse to the door, she whis- 
pered: "It is well to have a clergyman— if 
they wish it—, but the boy's father—" 

"He is also the father," she answered, and 
was gone. 

For a few moments the world was reeling. 
There was left to Sara but a kaleidoscopic 
perception of life and the sequences of events. 
Gradually, as she riveted her gaze upon the 
piteous face and the grief-stricken figure 
of the man kneeling there, her thoughts 
focused on the truth of the evident fact 
before her. 

His child ! and she had been led to minister 
to his dying needs ! There was only gladness 
m her heart, and an undefined worthiness of 
his better esteem, that this, mayhap, had 
raised her soul to a nearer level with his. 

Stepping back near a window, Sara endeav- 
ored to collect her forces. There was a 
touch on her arm, and a sobbing whisper 
asked, "how long?" 



Without a tremor, she answered very slowly, 
"perhaps only an hour; it cannot be long." 

Looking into her face for the first time, 
searching for a ray of comfort, or hope, he 
said: "Sara!" with such frantic stress that 
it might have been gladness, or — horror. 

Tense with anxiety, and torn with conflict- 
ing emotions, there was no resemblance to the 
self-righteous man she remembered. The 
droop of sorrow and humiliation had touched 
him as a stately flower shows the blight of the 
frost in the bending stalk, the limp leaves and 
blackened petals. Bowing his head, he said 
reverently: "This is my retribution and God's 
forgiveness." 

"He is your child?" she asked, longing to 
have the assurance confirmed. 

"My child," he replied, like a broken echo. 
Then there was a battle within the man— the 
last stroke for his claim to a free soul; the 
last chance for a redeemed soul; the final op- 
portunity for righting himself with God and 
woman. Would his be the victory? 

Even in this crisis of keenest suffering, did 
the cold, self-erected idol of his personal up- 
rightness contend with the God-built imper- 
sonal greatness of the spiritual man. 
But the battle was short. 
Supreme moments only by supreme efforts 
are achieved, to beautify and enrich all the 
unmarked years, as exquisite gems adorn and 
make priceless a golden chain. 

The idol was broken; the soul expanded to 
the size of a throne-room, and a beautiful 
truth, born of sorrow and humility, fluttered 
through his words when he said, after a long 
pause : 

"My child — and yours, Sara. Forgive me 
the lie, if it be not too late to" — 

Without a word, without a sign, she has- 
tened to the bed-side and fell upon her knees 
in an ecstacy of gratitude. 

Is it ever too late to have our own? Our 
own is forever our own by elemental posses- 
sion. Death is a mere incident. Life is short, 
but memory is long; time is limited, but eter- 
nity is limitless. Enough for us, then, that 
we know our own 1 

Something akin to this must have filled 
Sara's heart, for in her face was the light of 
a great, great happiness. For a few brief mo- 
ments she looked into the wide, bright eyes of 
her own child, kissed his lips, talked to him 
in mother-talk, and heard him say— just once 
— "my mother." 

There was no room in her heart for grief, 
when the tired eyes closed; there was grati- 
tude—piled upon joy— that she had known her 
own ! 



The dearly-loved rector of St. Mark's had 
been a changed man, since the death of his son. 
His people said he was less austere, more 
sympathetic, more tolerant; that grief had 
opened for him the flood-gates of an all- 
encompassing charity. 



There was added satisfaction when he 
brought to them his bride. 

With the admiring eyes of his flock upon 
him, and the loving eyes of Sara, his wife, 
burning through into his redeemed soul, the 
rector read the words of his text: 

"He that is without sin among you, let him 
first cast a stone at her."

EVERY FRIDAY 



Syracuse High Has a Speedy Team 



Await with Confidence the Outcome of Their Annual (iume with the Boys From 
Rochester East in the Salt City Tomorrow Afternoon 



TO morrow will be the greatest day of the 
year for Syracuse High School students, 
when the annual football game between their 
team and the Rochester East High team takes 
place, and all will be on hand to sec the con- 
test, as well as the fun incidental to this grid- 
iron battle. Everything is in readiness at the 
Salt City for the invasion of the Rochester 
warriors, with their hundreds of rooters, and 
there is no doubt but that one of the greatest 
demonstrations of school spirit ever enacted 
will be witnessed at New Star Park during 
the afternoon. 



A. B. CHURCHILL 

every game a certain amount of improvi 
has been shown, and as soon as team play was 
perfected "new football" was tried with more 
or less success. The men are all light, the 
heaviest on the line weighing in the neighbor- 
hood of 175 pounds, and in the backfield about 
ISO. 

The back trio contains but one vet, "Lolly" 
Van Brocklin, whose playing a year ago is well 
remembered by Flower City people. "Lol 
is playing his usual good game this season, 
and his grit and clogged determination have 
gained many a yard for the red and I lue. For 



PROBABLE LINE-UP OF SYRACUSE HIGH SCHOOL AGAINST ROCHESTER EAST HIGH TOMOKROW 




Players in the line, from left to right, are: 

McLaulhlin, O'Rourke, Mackesey, Noxon, Haviland, Loomis, Park. 
Back-field— Boland, Ryan, Gillette, Van Brocklin. 



The game itself promises to be a hummer. 
While the red and blue have played a num- 
ber of games this fall, all except one, that with 
the Binghamton High School, have been of a 
minor order, and with the one thought of 
whipping the eleven into the best possible shape 
for to-morrow's great test. Of the eleven men 
who will line-up against the purple and white, 
only four were members of the team which 
won that well remembered struggle from the 
East-siders on Culver Field last fall. They 
are Boland, captain and quarterback; Van 
Brocklin, left half-back; Haviland. left guard, 
and Loomis, left tackle. Of the remaining 
seven, three were "scrubs" a year ago, and 
four arc green "uns. 

Taking this fact into consideration, some 
idea of the problem which confronted Coach 
"Hank" Henderson, when he took char. 
the squad about four weeks ago, can be had. 
After one good look at the material available, 
he decided on speed as the quickest way to suc- 
cess, and "speed" was at once adopted as the 
team's slogan. This has been drilled into the 
players each day since, and the result is a team 
which is generally admitted to be fully as 
good as last year's, if not a trifle better. In 



right half. Rogers and Ryan, both new men, 
light, but good are available. Rogers seems 
a little better of the two, however, and unless 
kept out by a bad ankle he will start the game 
to-morrow. Gillette, one of last year's subs, 
is playing full-back, and making good in every 
sense of die word. Captain Boland at quarter 
is proving himself a good general, and his 
punting up to date, has been above criticism. 

Of the forwards. Haviland and Loomis on 
the left side are old boys, and can be depended 
upon to give a good account of them 
Barney O'Rourke the 2d. a brother of the 
mighty Barney, of Cornell fame, is on the 
right side at tackle, and he bids fair to become 
as famous on the gridiron as his brother. 
Mackesey, another brand new man at football, 
does the stunts at right guard. Noxon, a 
sized youth, and a member of the scrub 
team of a year ago. will be found at center. 

The ends have caused the coach consider- 
able worry throughout the entire season 
eral men have been trying out for the vacan- 
cies, but all are light. Chrisman and Mc- 
Lauthlin seem to have the call for the posi- 
tions, however, and they will undoubtedly be 
in the first line-up against the purple and white. 



Purging Dartmouth's Athletics 

DARTMOUTH'S action in disqualifying 
practically a whole varsity ball nine for 
playing summer baseball may lead to other 
reforms, Thomas J. McCarthy, for the pas) 
'.i of the Dartmouth nine, will 
not be re-engaged, and the inference is that 
McCarthy is blamed in some degree for the 
-ional spirit that pervaded the Dart- 
mouth team. Members of the council are 
reticent on the matter except that they are 
unanimous that McCarthy shall have nothing 
more to do with Darmouth's athletic teams 



Princeton Get's A=Float 
Princeton seems now assured of being repre- 
sented at the Poughkecpsie regatta not later 
than the summer of 1909. The Rowing Asso- 
ciation has just been formally organized and 
among the officers elected was Norman 
Armour, who will be the first captain. He has 
li i 1 several years' experience as a member of 
the St. Paul's School crew. Twenty-five men 
arc being coached daily on Carnegie Lake by 
Constance S. Titus and inter-class and handi- 
cap races will be held this fall. 



Brae=Burn Wants It 

The Brae-Burn Country' Club will bid for 
the next amateur golf championship of the 
United States, and the chances are more than 
even tha* the premier event of the season of 
1908 will be settled on the popular West New- 
ton links. The championship belongs to the 
next year, having been settled in the 
West this season at Cleveland; and in the 
second place. Massachusetts has yet to see a 
national amateur championship on one of her 
course-

'Behind The Choir Curtain 



A Short Story 

Copyright iqoy, P. C. Easlmont 



THERE had been an immense amount of 
irreverence in the choir before the new 
Soprano came. The Tenor and the Contralto 
and the Bass and the old Soprano had flirted 
from the opening anthem to the benediction, 
and as they were hidden from the congrega- 
tion by a green baize curtain there had been 
no scandal, although certain members of the 
session had complained of weird sounds that 
had seemed to echo from the organ loft and 
die in the steeple. 

With the advent of the new Soprano, how- 
ever, came a different state of affairs. Both 
the Tenor and the Bass fell in love with her 
at sight, and the Contralto, being forty and fat 
and fair, submitted comfortably to the new 
singer's conquest and smiled on her in a way 
unprecedented in choir history, where the 
green-eyed monster is supposed to rage ram- 
pant. 

The new Soprano was not irreverent, and 
hence it came about that romance was suc- 
ceeded by religion, and the Tenor and the 
Bass paid strict attention to the responses and 
to the sermon, and bent their heads during 
prayers ; although so earnest were the So- 
prano's meditations that the Bass was con- 
strained now and then to glance at her, and 
after intercepting the Tenor's ardent observa- 
tion would again seem wrapped in his devo- 
tions. 

At the time of the opening prayer the sun 
came through the rose window. A white dove 
spread his wings against the stained glass 
background, and as the Soprano stood up for 
her solo he seemed to hover over her head, 
and her shining hair made a golden halo. 

"Oh, she's too good to be true," the Bass 
told the Tenor as they went home together 
one Sunday in May. 

"She is perfect," the Tenor declared, fer- 
vently ; "we are a lot of sinners, and she has 
come among us like a little saint to make us 
ashamed of ourselves." 

It was discovered after three weeks that the 
Bass had given up smoking. In five weeks the 
Tenor signed the pledge, and in six the Con- 
tralto stopped bleaching her hair and came to 
choir practice with her head tied up in a veil 
to hide the inevitable discrepancies as to 
color. 

"She's a dear little thing," she confided to 
the Bass. "She is poor and takes care of her 
mother." 

"I'll take care of them both," the Bass de- 
clared, ardently, "if she will let me." 

The Tenor having made the same statement, 
the Contralto carried the news to the So- 
prano. 

"They are both in love with you, my dear," 
she whispered one Sunday morning when the 
green curtain had been drawn and the congre- 
gation had settled down comfortably to hear 
the sermon. 

"I'd rather not talk about such things in 
church if you don't mind," the Soprano said, 



VIRGINIA BLAIR 

gently, and the Contralto agreed hastily and 
gave her earnest attention to the preacher. 

"But tell me one thing," the Tenor said to 
the Contralto, confidentially, at choir practice, 
"how are we going to ask her? Her mother 
walks home with her after all the services, and 
she hasn't asked us to call, and she won't talk 
about secular things in church, and there you 
are 1" 

"Is love a secular thing?" the Contralto 
questioned, sentimentally. 

"She says it is," the Tenor stated, "but I 
think it is divine." 

Things came to something of a climax when 
the Soprano's mother was taken sick. 

"Now is your chance," said the Contralto, 
all in a flutter, as she leaned toward the 
Tenor. 

But the Bass was already begging the privi- 
lege. 

"I, had hoped you might let me," the Tenor 
said, as he stumbled over two chairs to get 
to her. 

"Why not both of you?" said the Soprano, 
"it's on your way home, and you will be com- 
pany for each other the rest of the way." 

"Oh, the aggravation of her," groaned the 
Tenor, as he went to get his hat, and the 
Bass said things to himself in a dark corner. 

The Soprano invited them in, and they 
found her mother sitting up in a big chair, 
and they had tea and muffins served by the 
angelic hands of the Soprano, who seemed 
more desirable than ever in this setting of 
domesticity. 

"We might as well meet it like men," the 
Bass told the Tenor as they went home after- 
wards. "We both love her, and if we are ever 
going to get a chance to ask her, one of us 
will have to stay away next Sunday night, and 
the other one can take her home." 

"Well," the Tenor agreed, "but how shall 
we decide who will take her?" 

"I'll toss a nickel," said the Bass. "Heads 
I win." And he forthwith flipped one, and it 
turned up tails. 

"Just my luck," said the Bass, gloomily, "but 
if you have the good looks I have the brains, 
and I shall know how to plead my case when 
the time comes." 

The Tenor was jubilant. 

"I shall have first chance," he said. 

When he talked to the Contralto on Sunday 
morning the Bass was not sanguine. "The 
Tenor is young and handsome and I won't be 
in it." 

The Contralto comforted him. 

"If I had the choosing I should pick you 
out," she said, and something in her voice 
made the Bass turn and look at her. She had 
on her new summer hat, and her hair was 
prettily brown where it had grown out, and 
there was about her an effect of youth and 
j.uuUiness that belied her forty years, and that 
made the Bass, with his weight of forty-five, 
feel old. 



"You are always my good friend," he said, 
and squeezed her hand ever so slightly, as he 
rose to sing a duet with the Tenor. 

In the solo part the Tenor's voice rang out 
with such a note of triumph that the Soprano 
caught her breath as she heard it. It was as if 
he sang "I love, love, love," and yet the words 
were sacred. Within the breast of the little 
Soprano something new stirred, something that 
was touched with the breath of divinity, so 
that it seemed no sacrilege for her to think of 
it in church. 

"How beautifully he sings," she said to the 
Contralto, and the Contralto agreed. "Yes, 
dear," but her eyes were on the Bass, who now 
took up the strain. 

When the Tenor sat down, the Soprano 
whispered in the shelter of the curtain, "How 
beautifully you sang." 

And the Tenor said: "I sang to you," and 
between them flashed a glance that made the 
Bass groan, and he murmured to the Con- 
tralto, "The game is up. I have lost. They 
are talking love in church." 

"It's as good a place as any," said the Con- 
tralto. " 'There's nothing half so sweet in life 
as love's young dream.' " She wiped her 
eyes as she said it, and the Bass found him- 
self asking: 

"Do you really think that young love is as 
steadfast as the love of old friends?" 

"Have you just found that out, Billy?" the 
Contralto questioned. 

"You have helped me to find it out," said 
the Bass, and squeezed her hand under her 
hymn book. 

And under the hymn book of the Soprano 
the hands of the two young lovers met. 

"The beautiful part is that you told me in 
church," said the Soprano, with her blue eyes 
lighted with divine fire. 

"Yes, that is the beautiful part," said the 
Tenor, as, regardless of the Contralto and the 
Bass, he kissed her beneath the green baize 
curtain.

took rank as 
the leading in-

kind in this 
part of West-

numbered among its members the most promi-

and dozens of others prominently 
identified with the commercial 
and political affairs of Erie 
County became its active mem- 
bers. 

Its membership was limited to 
three hundred, with an initiation 
fee of $100 and annual dues of $50. Among the 
athletic exercises mentioned in its initial articles 
were polo, tennis and 
golf, the latter just 
qp^. then coming into 

vogue among the out- 
door sports. The club 
was elected an allied 
member of the United 
States Golf Issocia 
lion in 1897.

Park— the site which 

R E. S. CARLISLE is now the home of 



that flourishing rival organization, the Park 
Club— together with the growing needs of the 
club, made a change of location necessary. 

An ideal tract of land, easily adaptable to 
sporting purposes, was secured just north of the 
city limits, and on this was erected a magnifi- 
cent club house for the members. Golf grounds 
were laid out, at first a nine-hole course only, 
and later an additional nine holes, making a 
full course of eighteen holes. Polo and tennis 
held their own, however, as they do to-day, the 
polo games in front of the clubhouse never fail- 
ing as an attraction to the members and guests. 

The annual horse show and gymkana games 
are the leading social evants of the summer 
season at the Country Club, the members 
thronging to the grounds in full force on these 
occasions. The tournaments of the golf clubs 
in the League of the Lower Lakes have been

EVERY FRIDAY 



NOTES & FALL FASHIONS 



<r* 




By Courtesy of Duify-Mclnnefney Company 




The most pronounced features of the fash- 
ions of the moment are the very large hat, 
veil draperies, frilly neckwear and fancy 
shoes. These are the prevailing fads in New 
York, and it seems more than likely that they 
will extend into general lines. 

The most pronounced types of millinery are 
now selling, the large mushroom or cloche, 
with its elaborate trimming of novelty feathers 
and its exaggerated flowers being even more 
pronounced than ever. It is still a question 
when this radicalism will have reached its ex- 
treme — for while size is pronounced and trim- 
ming abundant, colorings are no less so. 

Purple, light and dark peacock and the Co- 
penhagen blues are much in evidence. 

Every variety of coque feather is being used, 
and there are the most exaggerated quills and 
soft-made plume effects of goura, swan feath- 
ers and various other novelties. The mara- 
bout and the uncurled ostrich are much in fa- 
vor, while huge wings and quills, full-curled 
boas, large rosettes and plumes of every de- 
scription, are worn in the most pronounced 
colorings. The impeyan breasts and wings 
are used too, and entire crowns are sur- 
rounded and covered with the weirdest feath- 
er trimmings. 

Royal purple still claims attention as a novel 
coloring, in both millinery and trimming lines. 
Long Drapery Veils 

Not content with the exaggerated size of 
the hat and its pronounced trimming, the fash- 
ionable women are wearing long drapery veils, 
which are tied closely about the back of the 
hat, enclosing the elaborately dressed coiffure 
in a sort of chiffon or lace hood. The ends 
of the veils in many instances fall below the 
waist line, being caught close together, before 
falling, at the neck. 

These veils are not only of chiffon, but of 
net and lace in colors. London smoke, pearl 
gray, brown, tan and even green and purple 
are seen. 

Novelties in Neckwear 

A woman, if she care to, may spend the 
price of a fairly expensive waist, in a mere 
bit of neckwear. Very large effects in jabot 
and bosom frills are shown. These are made 
of line Batiste and also of Valenciennes lace. 
Beautiful combinations of lace and embroidery 
are seen, and there is no limit to the cost of 
these articles, though right here in Rochester, 
it is possible to buy some very pretty ones for 
very little. 

The embroidered linen collars in high, turn- 
over styles, continue in favor. Some are be- 
ing shown in color, with necktie to match. 
They have been quite a fad in the hand-em- 
broidered styles through the Summer and are 
now shown in machine-embroidery work. The 
leading colors are navy, brown and green. The 



bows to match are shown in both made-up 
effects and small ties. 

Cutaway in Suits and Coats 
The cutaway outline is being used very 
extensively in separate wraps and coat suits, 
and will undoubtedly continue to predominate 
throughout the winter. The leading makers 
of Europe favor the cutaway effect, and on 




both close-fitting and loose garments, this out- 
line is seen.' 

The three quarter sleeve appears largely on 
garments of a dressy type. This applies to 
costumes, separate waists and coat suits. The 
strictly tailored suit, almost without exception, 
has the full length sleeve; so has also the 
tailored waist, but very few models of a dressy 
character show the full length sleeve. It is 
however, an extreme fashion fancy, and a 



decided novelty is the decollette gown with 
transparent sleeve, with mitten form, coming 
down over the hand and having a thumb hole 
that it may be kept in position. 
New Girdle Effect 

In addition to the princess treatment, which 
is seen frequently in both simple and dressy 
costumes, there is a new girdle effect; very 
deep, reaching from a slightly shortened 
waistline half-way up under the arms. This new 
broad girdle is well thought of and is often 
finished with a sash drapery falling from the 
back, at the side, or the front. 

Very many of the dressy evening costumes 
have this sash treatment at the waistline. There 
is another novelty that is bidding for favor. 
This is the boned, pointed basque, finished with 
a narrow godet frill. 

Short Walking Skirts 

For all save the very dressy suit and cos- 
tume, the very short skirt prevails. The 
American-pleated models vie with the French 
creations in circular and gored effects. Other 
models though, are numerous, and it is un- 
doubtedly a period of transition in skirt 
styles, many new ideas being brought forth. 

Prominent among these novelties are the 
draped and double-skirt effects. Some of the 
best French makers stand sponsor for draped 
skirts, and they are sure to become an object 
of interest. 

High Top Fancy Shoes 

The very short skirts which are being worn, 
and with all walking suits and simple dresses 
of the type known as "costume trotteur," have 
brought into prominence the fancy shoes with 
high tops. 

The shoes of this new cut have cloth, ooze 
calf and colored kid tops and are very fetch- 
ing in appearance. Great use too, is being 
made of the patent leather boot with white 
kid top, this style seeming to predominate in 
the shops of the high grade custom makers. 
A great many of these novelties are shown in 
the Duffy-Mclnnerney store, those of the 
famous Garside manufacture being in greatest 
extreme and smart taste. 

A great many shoe tops, match the costume, 
or color of the suit. In some, the same fabric 
is employed. But the general demand is for 
the brown combinations, as well as gray in its 
various hues from the dark London smoke to 
the lighter pearl.

EVERY FRIDAY 



What Little Tots Are Wearing 



(SEE BACK COVER EOR ILLUSTRATIONS) 



The store that builds its business around 
the needs and necessities of the little tots, is 
planning for a very brilliant future; for it is 
bul a st ip from the "first bonnet" to the "first 
hat" and from the lirst hat to the styles that 
grace young ladies. And since young ladies 
as a rule, give greatest heed to what thtg 

wear — being a bit more particular than their 
elders, as to correct modes and fashions — the 
-tore that supplies them with their "lirst bon- 
net," will likely cling to them in usefulness. 

I hit is the main reason, perhaps, why the 
DulTy-McInnerney Company have really gone 
to extremes in gathering a selection of In- 
fants' Apparelling that is unquestionably the 
mosl extensive and the most exhaustive of 
any in the State, outside of perhaps three 
shops in New York City. 

From the simplest little bib that retails for 
something like ten cents, to the most gorgeous 
layette — complete with everything an infant 
could wear or play with — the stock seems to 
know no bounds. 

At the head of it is Miss M. Kenney of New 
York city, who for more than six years de- 
voted the bulk of her time to the selecting of 
similar merchandise in the shop of John 
Wanamaker. Miss Kenney not only covered 
the American market for that distinguished 
establishment, but the European one as well. 
And that she is thoroughly familiar with what 
little tots need or should have, is evidenced by 
the gorgeous display now on view in the big 
store at Main and Fitzhugh. 

Little Tots Headwear 

For very young children, white hats con- 
tinue in favor. These are intended to be worn 
with white broadcloth, cashmere and bear- 
cloth coats. 

The most pronounced style is the poke bon- 
net. It is made up in felt, velvet and fur 
plush. The wide brim effect is very pretty 
and becoming to most every child. 

Dutch bonnets are always attractive on 
young children. These are made of felt, vel- 
vet, imitation fur, plush, chiffon, silk and 
cloth, and are trimmed with ribbons, (lowers 
and small feathers. For older children there 
are the fancy shaped hats of beaver and felt 
in white and colors. Trimmings run the 
gamut of ribbons, chiffon and the like and 
ribbon ties, with pretty rosettes, large enough 
to cover the ears as a protection from the se- 
vere cold, are features of interest. 

For the wee-tiny infant, nothing takes the 
place of the close, tight-fitting caps. These 
are shown in imitation furs, bear cloth, faille 
silk, cloth and of materials to match the coats. 
Most of them are made with turned-back 
shields in plain or trimmed effects, and are 
very effective. 

Pretty wide ties are shown as fastenings, 
together with padded linings in plain or quilted 
effects. 

Broadcloth and Serge, in the new Fall 



colors, :> ■ wi II .is whiti . i I popular. 

I hose made in tyle, with 

phats at the back and Front, held in pi i 
in. .hi- of a belt, are mosl favored. Imitation 

no I ".-its also predominati . an I f tin m 

are rarely beautiful. 

Braid trimmings form a most decided < 
urc. These are employed either as a binding 
around the entire garment, or as trimming for 
the collars and cuffs. Imitation fur trimmings 
lo... are extensively used. 

Long coats for infants are shown in Bed- 
ford Cord in the lower priced models, and

Political Barons of Western Nets) York

car systems and gas companies in Washington, 
D. C. While the Stevens collection of trac- 
tion and gas companies and banks could not 
be styled a complete one, it was sufficiently 
large to net its owner several million dollars. 
Having acquired a final rural estate, Stevens 
aspired to the barony of Wyoming, and, in- 
cidentally to Duke Wadsworth's seat in Con- 
gress. 

Strong in the supremacy of generations, the 
chief of the Wadsworth clan pooh-poohed the 
Stevens pretensions. But the newcomer was 
not niggardly in expenditure of his money, 
and ere long he had laid successful siege to 
the Wyoming barony. Thinking, possibly, to 
sidetrack him, the Wadsworths sent Stevens 
to the state Senate. There he was not as 
tractable as the big state barons would like, 
and when the apportionment of 1906 was made 
they fixed up a Senate district where Stevens 
and Wyoming would not figure larger than a 
three-cent piece. The Wadsworths, pater and 
fils, were not in the deal, they were more con- 
cerned in shunting Baron Irving L'Hom- 
medicu, of Orleans, out of the Senate council 
because he had manifested a rebellious spirit. 
Both Stevens and L'Hommedieu were counted 
out, and Baron Merritt, of Niagara, sent 
Deputy Baron Stanislaus P. Franchot, brother 
to Baron Nicholas Van Vranken Franchot, of 
Cattaraugus, to the Senate in L'Hommedieu's 
place, while Duke Wadsworth and Baron 
Sanders sent Samuel Percy Hooker, a stout- 
hearted yeoman of Genesee, in Stevens' stead. 
Everything looked promising for an in- 



definite continuation of the dynasty of Wads- 
worth. But that cloud was growing larger. 
Governor Higgins declined rcnomination. The 
agrarians of the Wadsworth duchy had been 
murmuring because of fancied reluctance on 
the part of the Duke to pay proper heed to 
their requests for congressional action. The 
nomination for governor of Hughes, Stevens' 
friend, the tart exchange of compliments be- 
tween the Great Father in Washington and 
the Duke, all added to the storm. Up in Ni- 
agara, aided and abetted by Baron Stevens, 
Peter A. Porter, student and historian and 
scion of a family as old and noted as the 
Wadsworths, started out as a congressional 
candidate. Hearst men and dempcrats were 
tickled to death to put Porter on their ticket. He 
beat Wadsworth to death. Then came the 
selection of Stevens to dispense the canal pa- 
tronage under Hughes. Looked like Stevens 
stock was booming some. Then came the new 
apportionment whereby Livingston — the home 
barony of the Wadsworths — was lifted out of 
the duchy altogether and coupled with a people 
who knew not the Wadsworths. While Liv- 
ingston remains loyal to the Wadsworths and 
Genesee still sands by Sanders — Archie D., 
the internal revenue collector, who has been 
playing off agin, on agin, gone agin Finnegan 
— Stevens has been able to restore Irving 
L'Hommedieu, the Bold Buccaneer of West- 
ern New York politics to the barony of Or- 
leans, and to help Porter give the Merrit- 
Franchot regime in Niagara an awful jolt. 
Up in Chautauqua the old Nixon dynasty is 



tottering under the body blows of the rebels, 
led by Chairman F. W. Stevens, of the Public 
Service Commission. Over in Cattaraugus, 
Brother Nicholas Franchot has been all but 
dethroned by Senator Abijah Fancher, Nix- 
on's friend in politics and oil enterprises. 

If the Wadsworth duchy is disintegrated, 
and the Wadsworth sub-barons are dethroned, 
will Premier Stevens be the next duke or will 
that title pass? Does Stevens want to go to 
Congress at the close of Porter's term? Or 
does he aspire to "Our Chauncey's" seat in 
the United States Senate? 

Just as an incident in the baronial annals 
it should be remarked that Livingston and Ni- 
agara have democratic barons in training. 
While Fletcher C. Peck has his law business 
and social residence in Rochester, he is chssed 
as a voting resident of Livingston county, and 
is elected to represent the democratic yeomen 
in state councils. But there is a square-jawed, 
unobtrusive Irishman, by name John F. 
Donovan, residing in Mt. Morris, who will be 
heard from if the democratic star ever gains 
ascendancy again in state and nation. Up in 
Niagara there resides a tall, angular, shrewd- 
visaged chap named George W. Batten. He 
ran for secretary of state once, and was de- 
feated. But he kept in the game, and was 
slick enough to keep in with David B. Hill, 
William James Conners and William Ran- 
dolph Hearst, pose as the democratic and In- 
dependence League leader of Niagara at one 
and the same time, and then capture the deputy 
state treasurership. 



Ballad of a Bachelor 

Tall she was and divinely fair, 

Light of foot as a woodland fay, 

A Gibson girl with a modish air, 

She that I loved and who said me nay; 

It seems, ah ! me, but yesterday — 

How stunning she looked in her picture hat!— 

But ten long years have passed away, 

And Amaryllis is growing fat. 

Ankle dainty and figure spare, 

Cupid's mouth and eyes of gray, 

Roguish dimples and russet hair, 

Chloe was blithe as a bird in May; 

I pleaded long for a single yea, 

But she used my heart as she would a mat; 

But time adjusts all things, they say, 

And Chloe, too, is growing fat. 

Lips that were made to tempt and snare, 
Eyes to sparkle and dance and play, 
A smile to temper life's cark and care — 
Clorinda certainly "had a way" ; 
Slender, too, as a willow spray, 
Graceful with racquet, or club, or bat; 
She spurned my suit, but my heart is gay, 
For Clorinda, too, is growing fat.

Time was I hunted in his native court 
The royal lion, and in jungles dense 
Pursued the tiger, and esteemed the sport 
Immense. 

Time was I stalked all day the shaggy yak, 
Or whipped wild mountain streams with fly 
or worm, 
Or with explosive bullets felled huge pach- 
-yderm. 

Time was my rifle tolled the swart gnu's knell, 
Or brought to earth some monarch moose 
ill-starred, 
Or hippopotamus, or coy camel- 
-opard. 

Such simple sports I now esteem a bore, 

Since automobile scorchers are my prey ; 
With buckshot now I bag them, con amore, 
All day.

ing you to play with. You are the prettiest 
doll in the whole shop, and I hope to get 
you comparatively cheap." 
"But what would you do with me?" 
"Oh, put you into pretty frocks, tak 
about with me, and show you off." 
"There must be some other reason." 
I had not meant to speak aloud, for the 
words sounded ungracious. But they broke 
forth without my volition. 

Lady Sophie's handsome face flushed, and 
she bit her lip. For an instant her eyes ap- 
peared to flinch from mine, and suspicion, 
vague, yet sharply pinching, clutched my per- 
turbed spirit. 

"Well, if you must have it, my fancy for 
you arose partly from a resemblance to some 
one I used to know and admire years ago. 
I noticed it the instant I saw you in the park, 
and though you did not guess that I observed 
you, I hardly took my eyes from your face, 
peeping under the frills on my sunshade, until 
I spoke to you. Now that I've exhibited my- 
self as a woman of sentiment — a creature I 
despise — are you satisfied?" 

Perforce, I had to answer falteringly that I 
was. But suspicion, once roused, would not 
be put to sleep again so soon. There was a 
look in Lady Sophie de Gretton's eyes which 
told me (or I morbidly imagined it) that there 
was still something concealed under her most 
unexpected, most astonishing offer. I felt 
this electrically, yet I would not listen to the 
subdued whisperings. 

What if there was something else? What 
did it matter? What did anything matter if 
this transformation of my life could come 
about? I was intoxicated by the cup that she 
held out to me, and I would have been ready 
to drink it down to the dregs — if only I need 
not taste the dregs quite yet. 

"I must be hard to please if I were not sat- 
isfied," I said. "But I'm so bewildered, you 
must forgive me. Only tell me, since you say 
this is real and serious, what I am to do."

"Oh, for how long? A week— a fortnight— 
if you won't mind my asking?" 

"Would it be worth while your offending 
your Pcckham relative and losing a home fol 
a fortnight?" 

I drew in my breath. The room swam be- 
fore my eyes. 

"Yet!" I cried recklessly. "It would be 
worth it all— for that. For a fortnight I 
should have lived. I should 'have had my 
day,' and surely something, some sort of work, 
would turn up later." 

"Brava! you're a girl after my own heart. 
You are a woman who dares. \ was only try- 
ing you. I'd keep you longer than a fortnight. 
Just how long, I'm too honest, Miss Brand, 
to pretend to settle now. It would depend on 
many things." 

Again her eyes dropped away from mine as 
if their falling lashes would hide something 
of mystery. But I was used to mystery. I 
had had it in my own life, so close, so inti- 
mate a companion, that familiarity had bred 
contempt — or carelessness. 

"Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof; 
and you would have to trust me to see that 
your future prospects at Peckham or else- 
where were not endangered. Meanwhile I 
can promise you this: While your visit lasts 
you shall have everything that the most spoiled 
and petted girl could ask for — quite as much as 
the one you took for an example in speaking 
to your friend in the park. By I lie way. T 
know her well, and you shall know her too, 
if you wish, though I warn you she doesn't 
easily tolerate rivals, and you will he so dan- 
gerous a one that the rose of her acquaintance 
may have its thorns." 

I wonder if a spirit of prophecy had entered 
into Lady Sophie de Gretton, that she should 
have made use of just those words? 

As she spoke the door opened, ami the foot- 
man who had brought in tea appeared 

"Sir George Seaforth, my lady — " he had 
decorously begun, when his mistress sprang 
up impulsively, her face flushing. Her eyes 
darted to the doorway, well nigh blocked by 
the man's padded shoulders, and so doing her 
features slightly relaxed. 

The visitor was, at all events, not close be- 
hind the servant, and for some reason she was 
glad of the respite. 

"Where is he?" she questioned, a slight 
quiver in her voice. 

"I showed Sir George into the lioud,,ir, your 
ladyship, thinking you were engaged." 

"Ah !" with a little relieved sigh. "That 
was right. William. I will sec him there in a 
few minutes." 

William vanished; the door closed; Lady 
Sophie remembered us. But there wa 
subtle change in her manner. 
"It is settled, then-" she asked. 
Her tone was almost impatient, and. as 
as I had murmured "Yes," she hurried on: 
"Good! Can you get away the day after |

Before we knew what had happened we had 
been cordially shaken hands with, William had 
been rung for to show us out, and we were in 
the warm June sunlight of Park Lane again, 
banished from fairyland, humbly waiting for 
an omnibus. 

"Why was she in such a hurry to get rid of 
us?" queried Anne. "And why was she so 
pleased because the footman had shown that 
man into another room?" 

My ears tingled with the sting of my con- 
viction. 

"She was ashamed to have anyone see us in 
our dowdy clothes. And that brute of a Wil- 
liam was ashamed, too. That's why." 

"Oh, do you think so? I don't. It goes 
deeper than that. Mark my words, Con, 
there's a mystery of some sort, and the man 
who called is mixed up in it. Don't go to 
stop with that woman, dear. It's all too fan- 
tastic. No good can come of it, but maybe 
dreadful harm to you." 

No wonder that Anne's words struck coldly 
on my heart. It was odd that she, as well as 
I, should have suspected something hidden, 
for Lady Sophie de Gretton's explanation, 
though eccentric, had sounded frank enough. 
I would not have given up my new prospects, 
chimerical as they still aoneared, unwise as 
it was according to an old proverb to exchange 
"a bird in the hand for two in the bush," but 
since the entrance of the footman to announce 
a visitor my excitement had been dying down. 
Now I felt chilled and unhappy, yet obstinate. 
"I can't help it," I said sulkily. "It's done 
now for good or evil. I wish an omnibus 
would come." 

But at an unseen distance something had 
happened, and there was a block in the stream 
of traffic. Not an omnibus was in sight, and 
none of the carriages packed into Hamilton 
Place were able to move out into Piccadilly. 
Anne and I were obliged to stand close by the 
curbstone waiting, and though I was in too 
reckless a mood to care whether I were late 
in arriving at Happiholme Villa or not, I was 
also too impatient to tolerate waiting. I 
wanted to be off; I wanted to be going some- 
where, anywhere. Anne and I could only be 
together in an omnibus for a certain length 
of time; we must then separate, she proceed- 
ing in one direction, I in another. 

Only a little while ago I had disliked the 
idea of parting with her; now I welcomed it, 
for I did not wish her to continue her con- 
scientious efforts at dissuasion. We might 
have walked on at this juncture, allowing an 
omnibus finally to overtake us, and Anne 
suggested the plan, only to have it vetoed by

me. If we walked she would have plenty of 
opportunity for further argument; in an omni- 
bus, where all our neighbors might hang upon 
our words, private conversation would be im- 
practicable. 

So we stood still, I feverishly discussing the 
hats and frocks in the carriages packed along 
the waiting line, and nearly ten minutes must 
have passed before a movement ahead became 
perceptible. We were still close to Lady 
Sophie de Gretton's when at last the omnibus 
we desired came in sight. 

It was rattling along at great speed to make 
up for lost time, and as the driver seemed dis- 
inclined to see our insignificance, I boldly 
dashed out to head it off before the more cau-

the pavement 

1 had trctched oul my hand to grasp 
rail, when an impatient cab horse intcn i 
me, i spi titled, and fell 

shoulders come in contact with something 
behind. 

A worn: ii top of the omnibus utter 

shrill squeal of alarm, and the sound ol 

the expression of her eyes, which for 
a bewildered instant I saw were fixed on me, 
robbed me of my presence of mind. 

I thought that I was going to be run over. 
In imagination I felt myself knocked down, 
wheels crunching over my spine. The whole 
world seemed made of horses — rearing horses, 
horses with tossing heads and trampling hoofs. 
I he street was a sea of horses. 

They were everywhere — in front, behind, 
coming from both sides; go where I would, I 
could not escape. I shut my eyes and threw 
up my hands, conscious in an odd, bewildered 
way, even at that instant, that I had dropped 
my umbrella, and should never be able to buy 
another, if I lived to want it. 

People were shouting this and that at me; 
I only heard their voices, not their words, and 
they all sounded angry, unsympathetic, as if 
they were annoyed that I had got in their 
way, not that they cared what became of me. 

It could not have lasted sixty seconds, 
though I had thought of so many things (even 
feeling a pang of regret that this had not hap- 
pened after instead of before my glorious visit 
to Lady Sophie de Gretton, now to be lost 
forever under the horses' hoofs), when I was 
caught up bodily and planted in safety on the 
pavement. It was a strong arm that held me, 
and until a mist cleared away from my eyes 
I thought my stammered thanks were due to 
a big policeman ; but though the policeman was 
there, having arrived the fraction of a second 
too late, it was not to him that I owed my 
deliverance. 

" Twas that gentleman there, not me," he 
explained, with a gruffness born of my reck- 
less conduct, which deserved all the punish- 
ment it had received. My impression was 
that if anyone merited a scolding it was the 
omnibus driver for not looking, or the first 
cabman, who had come so near to using me 
for a ninepin. But they had both contrived 
to disappear, and I should have been censured 
by the guardian of the law had not "that gen- 
tleman" gallantly interfered. 

"Oh. 1 say. b"' be an idiot." he suc- 

cinctly remarked; and, having disposed of the 
policeman, turned t" me. "1 do hope you're 
not hurt." 

"No, I think not. thanks to you," 1 faltered. 
"If wis so stupid of me. But you were very 
good, and — I'm all right now. Come, Anne, 
we will take this next omnibus." 

"Won't you let me call you a cab'- You 
look awfully white and shaken," said the man. 

I was about to refuse, but Anne seconded 
in- SUggi Stion. Yes, we would have a cab. 
And in another moment, with a motion of the 
stick be carried, our new friend had sum- 
moned a hansom.

citement of seeing me killed, had passed on, 
defrauded. All was quiet again in Hamilton 
Place, and I thought that there were none 
remaining who cared to stare, as my knight 
in tall hat and frock coat extended his service 
by helping me into the vehicle. 

But, after all, I was mistaken. Just as he 
his hat lifted, inquiring with interest 
in his eyes whither he should direct the cab- 
man to drive, a victoria approached us. By 
a coincidence which seemed odd to me (and 
afterwards was to seem far more so), it con- 
tained the wonderful girl in pink muslin. She 
and the woman by her side — her mother. I 
was certain — were gazing indifferently into 
space, when the eyes of the former fell upon 
my champion. 

Her features quickened suddenly into life; 
her gaze traveled from the man standing by 
the cab to me. at whom she continued to look 
with keen curiosity, tempered by disapproval. 
Then she whispered a word to her companion. 
The elder woman glanced in my direction, and 
— a strange thing happened.
